A member asked:

A lot of tightness in my chest for the past few days. no other symptoms though. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Robert Uyeda answered

Could be: Coming from any of the organs in the chest: heart, lungs, esophagus. Make sure this is not a heart attack, even at your age. Other common possibilities are gerd, lung infection, shingles. But see a doctor to exclude heart attack.
