Pressure under left pecturial Muscle

Posted by Brookins

I experience a slight chest tightness from time to time and am  wondering if this is necessarily cardiac related?  Last year I reported  this to my dr and she had me do a stress test and the nuclear test,  both of which didn’t show any problems.    Still intermitently by days I experience slight pressure from time to  time on the left side of my chest near the bottom of the left pectorial  muscle.  This discomfort/pressure usually occurs after I have a  stressfull moment or have gas.    I notice it more when I am sitting still which makes me suspect gas.    I am wondering if anyone else experieces this and hoping that it  doesn’t always indicate a cardio event.    Thank you for your time

    If you are referring to the area right next to your armpit, then I have been having that pain for years. I brought it to my doctors attention about 5 or 6 years ago and he said there was nothing there, just muscle so maybe it was a muscle strain. I can’t say there is any rhyme or reason to when it occurs. Patty 55 female possible mild mi december 2003
