A member asked:

Ive been experiencing some uncomfortable tightness under my breasts & chest & i struggle to breath properly sometimes ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Insufficient informa: You did not specify which side of the chest and that makes it difficult to adequately give you a good answer. If it is on the left side it may be something to check out by a doctor to make sure your heart is okay. Are you coughing? If you are coughing it may be pneumonia. It may be COVID 19.
