What can i use for my chest that's pulling tight & paining?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pain: Is there a history of recent injury? Pulling and a tightness discomfort is more characteristic of rib cage strain or inflammation rather than lung, heart or esophageal causes. Sharp,shooting chest pain with a deep breath is often caused by a pinched nerve or muscle in the rib cage. Try taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen for relief. See your MD if not improved or worse
