A member asked:
I have been having a tightness in my chest since jan 2012. i have had ekg's, chest xrays & breathing tests - all normal. any ideas what it might be?

Many possibilities: Tightness may be related to heart, lungs, gi, etc. A thorough history and exam is needed for better diagnosis and to guide testing. Normal ecg, cxr and pft are helpful but you may need more testing, especially if you are still having symptoms. Discuss with your doctor.
