What Causes Tightness And Soreness In The Chest Upon Exertion?
I have had tightness and soreness in my left chest area after straining my back 10 days ago. I stepped out of my car after a long drive and since that time have had pain in my left chest and rib area which has been sometimes very painful. It is not constant and happens to intensify with some movement and is relieved after taking medicine or resting.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having rib muscle strain leading to muscular spasm after long drive.
Take analgesic medicine with muscle relaxant medicine for 2-3 days.
Apply muscle relaxant cream on affected part.
you will be alright after muscle spasm will be released.
Ok and take care.
