Chest Pressure

Similar to chest pain is the sensation of discomfort or pressure. The pain can range from subtle to severe and is often described as a fullness, squeezing, or pressure within the chest. Some people may mistake this sensation as heartburn, especially when the discomfort is positioned around the left or center of the chest. Some say the pain is more like an aching, while others mention it being more sharp.

What you need to keep in mind that pain and pressure in the chest cavity are not normal. If you feel pressure, discomfort, and other pains that are going to be mentioned later on, you need to call 911 immediately.
