A member asked:

How can i heal a strained chest i've been suffering from for months? it is uncomfortable to sleep under this condition no matter what position i lay in. what can i do to heal the strain for good?

Chest strain: Straining the chest muscles are not common. Hearing that you have symptoms for weeks raises questions. What is wrong? How did it start? Is this a strain? Rib issue? See a doctor in person
