What Causes Tightening Around My Chest?
I am a 17 year old female with no medical conditions, of a slender build. The past week I have had a sore throat and coughing, but as of last night I now have no energy, a tightness around my chest, muscle and joint aches, and occasionally when I urinate it is orange in color. Also all of last night I kept on getting really hot and then I would get cold, and had to keep taking off jumpers then putting them back on.

Hello and thank you for asking in HCM
You concerns are similar to a viral condition with sore throat wet cough, slight fever no energy, a tightness around the chest, muscle and joint aches.Usually these lasts for 3-5 days and sometimes a week.During this time it is better to stay at home drink a lot of water or liquids and if needed to take some oral pain killers (paracetamol).
If this situation lasts more than a week you should see a doctor.
Thank you
