What Is The Reason For Tightening Feeling Across Chest?
this morning my husband had a tightning across his chest. He said it almost was a rolling feeling,going down and then it would come again. He is 75 yrs of age. I gave him two aspirins, and he said it went away. What do think this is? sincerely Doreen Lillo

Dear Ms. Lillo,
There are many causes of chest pain. At his age, it is important to make sure that he is not experiencing angina or having a heart attack. Other causes may be heartburn (reflux), asthma, muscle injury or strain. I would suggest that he see his physician or a clinic soon.
Thank you for your question.
