What Causes A Headache And Painful Tightness In The Chest?
Periodically I get a very tight chest, sharp pains in the chest which proceed through my back. This includes a headache.where I have sharp pain running from ear to ear and a sharp pain in the throat. I feel like I need to lay down and it usually runs for about 1/2 hour. The pains are sharp, stabbing, and are quite severe. I have a high pain tolerance but today I almost drove to the hospital.
