A member asked:
Can a symptom of heart disease be tightness only when lying down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CHF: In some patients, when they lie down the fluid return is enough to cause tightness in their chest. Usually these are either CHF patients or significant diastolic dysfunction patients. The symptom however is not specific and of itself does not mean heart disease is present.
