What Causes Tightening In The Middle Of The Torso?
I just had tightening in the middle of my front torso, right below the chest bone that's in the middle. It lasted about 10 minutes and now it has subsided. I have never felt anything like that before. Any thoughts?

Hi.
The feeling of tightness i the mid-chest can be secondary to esophageal problem like esophagospasm.
On a safe side ECG should be done as the heart attack can present in the same way.
If the problem repeats it is better to g for upper GI endoscopy also.
Take a PPI, antacid gel.
If there is no relief you have to visit the ER,..
