Q: tingling in chest
asked by: jjright212 on December 31st, 2007

About a month ago I started feeling kind of a tingling sensation in which my chest gets a bit tense whenever I make a downward motion with some force (imagine making your hand into a fist, and thrusting it downward). I get this sensation on my upper chest (the area bordering my shoulder). This happens also in the same exact area on my right side when I thrust my right fist downward.

If I thrust both downward, I get that tingly sensation in both areas. The sensation only lasts for about 1.0 second.

I dont feel it in any other type of motion nor do I have any other symptoms.

The only thing that has been different lately is that I stopped working out for a while (I used to almost every day).

Should I schedule an appt with a general internal doctor, or a cardiologist? Thanks

Prehaps this issue is related to the nerves. I might suggest seeing a general doctor to ask for the recommended specialist. Not sure if you need a neurologist, orthopedist, PT, or a cardiologist...or someone else.

I am very curious as to what this might be. Thanks.

What do you mean "When I thrust downward"? What kind of motion is this? Also, have you seen a doctor? Perhaps this is occurring because of a pinched nerve? Given that you feel the sensation on the right side of your body, it doesn't seem to be affecting your heart. Is this correct?
