What Causes Stiffness In Chest?

Hi. Doctor.

I would like to know bout chest stiffness. I got it just 1 year ago and it happens not frequently and caused nothing annoyrf except a strange sensation in the upper chest, like a stickiness sensation. don't think it gets any relation with the heart like Angina Pectoris nor Stomach ache.



I can feel this stiffness some hours a day (disapeared then repeated again and again within the day) and the more time goes, the longer time it last (i.e.. last 3 months it happened shorter than this month).



How do you tink ?. What will be the problem these symptons may represent for ?.

Thanks.
