Why do i feel ike someone is sitting on my chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: A person with tightness or pressure (someone sitting on my chest) can see his doctor for evaluation. Pains can come from neck and shoulder muscles, the ribs and their joints, the lungs or heart inside the chest, the nerves coming out of the spinal cord, etc... If one feels "someone sitting on his chest," doctors want to rule out a heart attack. Thus, he should consider an ambulance ride to the ER.
