A member asked:
I used to experience pressure or tightness in my chest. sometimes left and other times right. when this happens the pain becomes worse when i breathe deeply or even laugh. can you please tell me what this may be?

Your chest pain could be from the rib cage (thorax) or the pleura (the membrane covers the lung). Because the symptom is not persistent and it also changes side so it is difficult to give you an advice without a chest exam with at least a chest X-ray. However, I doubt of any serious condition. If symptom persists, you should see your doctor.
