A member asked:
What can cause pressure and around the chest area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes serious: Chest pressure or pain, or trouble breathing in an adult are signs to go to the ER. Chest pressure can be heart symptoms. One should not drive himself (it's safer to go by ambulance). If he turns out not to have heart attack symptoms, the ER will also have evaluated for issues like acid reflux, esophageal spasm, myocarditis, pneumonia, costochondritis, pneumothorax, muscle/rib/spine problems, etc.
