I've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.

Could you please explain what treatments are recommended for lvh? I'm really worried about this condition and just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to manage it properly.

I've been having this pricking pain in my chest that isn't super intense, but it crops up when I'm on the treadmill or climbing stairs. I'm in my mid-20s and last week I saw a doctor about some chest discomfort. They thought it was acid reflux. What could be causing this? I also felt some pressure in my neck and shoulders that went away after a few minutes. Any ideas on what's going on? Should I be worried?
