All chest pain should be evaluated. Evaluation means an examination, possible imaging, possible lab tests. This site is for general health education, and is not designed to diagnose/treatment plan. Please see your GP or Urgent Care or ER immediately. The cause ofnyour chest tightness cannot be diagnosed with a computer click.
