Many people who have recovered from COVID still suffer from long COVID symptoms, including chest pain and tight chest.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 20 percent of U.S. adults have symptoms of long COVID. Chest pain and tight chest are the most common symptoms. There are many possible causes of chest pain and tight chest, which may be related to the heart or caused by problems in the lungs, esophagus, muscles, ribs, or nerves, some of which are even life-threatening.
