Doctor can evaluate: Chest tightness, chest pain, or shortness of breath can be due to minor problems or to very serious ones. A doctor can check to see what might be the cause. Sometimes blood tests, chest x-rays, and even an EKG will be done. Possible causes include a partial collapsed lung, costochondritis, pneumonia, asthma, stomach acid reflux, heart problems, etc... Heart attacks are ultra rare around age 30.
