What Could Cause Chest Tightness?
I get regular massages due to stress and computer sitting. But today I have had tightness in my chest right in the center. Could the tightness in my upper back cause this? I also just had a massage yesterday and I am pretty sore. I want to know when to make the trip to the e.r.?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I could say from the history given here, that without knowing the undelaying cause of pain it is not advisable to do the massage this could create some problem, in my opinion it is better to rule out the underlying cause of your tightness of chest, and for that two important test need to be done one is EKG and second is x-ray chest, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
