[|Human|] hi docit has been 2 weeks now, feels numb/pulling sensation in the mid left chest when i lie down or stretch my left hand. something inside pulls and feels like it gets tight and then releases. There is no pain. Happens especially when i am half lying on the right side. I have no problems in breathing and have no pain. Tried deep breathing and it doesnt give me any numbness/pulling sensation. Happens only when i lie down or stretch.
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a backbone disorder. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and a cervico-thoracic column X-ray study. If the above tests results normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of this symptomatology. Otherwise, a spine CT scan would give more information on the intervertebral discs and possible disc bulging. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
