Why is my chest sore?

Answer by  stillife (32)

Could be recent injury or trauma. If you have been lying on your stomach on a hard surface your chest might hurt. Sometimes a cold with a cough can cause chest pain. You may have pulled a rib cage muscle. If you feel short of breath, however, you may be experiencing heart trouble and should seek medical attention immediately.

It could be a few things you need to see a doctor as soon as possible to rule out a heart problem or a chest infection or indigestion.

Have you strained it by lifting or working out? Are you under stress? Stress causes muscles to react like that. Are you sick and it is in the chest now? See a Dr. if your sick and it's in the chest to prevent penomia.
