Q: my pec muscles hurt as they are shortened. ( slouching ). can this cause a pinched nerve and sensitivity to cold air?

: It is difficult to imagine painful pectoralis (or any other muscle) because of being "shortened". Also unlikely to cause pincned nerve or sensitivity to cold. Discuss with your doctor if you remain concerned. Good luck.
