| How to Relieve Chest Tightness Posted: 13 Jul 2018 05:00 PM PDT If you are having symptoms of a heart attack, such as chest tightness together with pain in your left arm, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Chest tightness caused by muscle soreness or other injury can be treated easily with OTC pain relievers, ice and heating packs, and rest. Acid reflux is another common cause of chest pain, and it can be treated with lifestyle changes and antacids. Relaxation exercises can ease chest tightness caused by stress, anxiety, or depression. If you experience frequent bouts of chest tightness, you can work with a doctor and/or therapist to develop a long-term treatment plan. EditTrying Relaxation Techniques - Rest if your chest tightness is caused by soreness. Chest pain can be caused by a bruise or other injury. If that's the case for you, take it easy. Stop doing any activity that might aggravate your injury.[1]
- Once your chest pain gets better, you can start slowly getting back to your normal activity levels.
- Get immediate stress relief. Panic attacks and other issues can cause trouble breathing and chest tightness. There are several techniques you can try to reduce acute stress, including:[2]
- Work with a therapist to manage chest tightness caused by stress, anxiety, or depression. If you experience periodic chest tightness that doesn't have an obvious physical cause, ask your doctor to refer you to a therapist. Stress, anxiety, and depression can all cause feelings of tightness in the chest, even without becoming a full panic attack. A therapist may have you try:[3]
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
- Talk therapy
- Relaxation techniques
EditMaking Lifestyle Changes - Exercise to relieve chest pain accompanied by acid reflux. If your chest tightness comes along with heartburn, it is probably because of a gastrointestinal problem. Getting up and moving around, rather than lying down, can reduce this problem and the chest tightness it causes.[4]
- Try some light exercise, like going for a walk or taking some stairs.
- You can also take antacids for quick relief from acid reflux.
- Make dietary changes. Chest tightness caused by acid reflux can be alleviated by eating a modified diet, such as lowering your sodium intake. If your chest tightness is caused by heart problems, COPD, or other issues, your doctor may also make dietary recommendations, or suggest losing weight.[5]
- Talk with your doctor about additional lifestyle changes that may alleviate your chest tightness. Once your doctor figures out what's causing your chest tightness, they may recommend changing certain habits, like stopping smoking, to ease the problem. These may be used together with or instead of medication. Lifestyle changes that may reduce chest tightness include:[6]
EditSeeking Medical Care - Get immediate medical attention for a heart event. A heart attack or other cardiac problem can cause chest tightness. Heart issues are serious, so contact emergency medical services immediately if you experience any warning signs. Do not try to drive yourself to the emergency room. Chew an aspirin and rest while you wait for help to arrive. Common signs of a heart event include:[7]
- Chest discomfort
- Pain in the left arm, jaw, and neck
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Cold sweats
- Apply an ice pack to swollen spots. An ice pack will help to reduce pain and swelling caused by injuries less than 6 months old. At the same time, it may ease the chest tightness the pain and swelling can cause.[8]
- Apply the ice pack for 10 to 20 minutes at a time, 3 or more times a day.
- Place a towel between the ice pack and your skin.
- If the swelling goes down after a couple days but there is still pain/tightness, you can switch to a heating pad.
- Place a heating pad on the sore area. Heat may be an effective way of relieving chest tightness due to old injuries. Place a thermal pad on the area of your chest that is impacted. If the pad is very warm, place a towel between it and your skin.[9]
- You can use heating pads for relief as often as you'd like.
- If it is comfortable to recline, you can also try taking a warm bath for a similar effect.
- Take an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever. A dose of aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) like ibuprofen can give immediate relief from chest tightness. Follow the dosing guidelines on the package and don't take more than the recommended amount.[10]
- OTC pain relievers are effective at treating chest tightness caused by muscle soreness or bone problems.
- If you are on any other medications, check with a doctor before taking an OTC pain reliever. They can advise you on which ones are safest and most effective.
- Apply a muscle cream to aching areas. Ointments formulated to soothe sore muscles may ease chest tightness caused by this problem. Look for one with menthol. Rub the cream on the sore area, and follow the package directions to find out how often to use the cream.[11]
- Once the muscle pain eases, the chest tightness should start to go away.
- Clear chest congestion. If you have a cold or other issue that's causing chest tightness, use an OTC or home remedy to break up the congestion. If you have frequent chest congestion, or if it lasts more than a couple days, you should contact a doctor. Quick remedies to help treat a cold and chest congestion include:[12]
- Drinking a warm beverage (broth, lemon and honey tea, or ginger tea are good options)[13]
- Gargling (stir half a spoonful of salt into a glass of warm water)
- Getting a steam treatment (such as taking a hot shower or bath), or using a cool mist humidifier
- Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of plain water
- Taking an OTC decongestant
- Talk to your doctor about taking a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI). If you have frequent chest tightness accompanied by acid reflux or heartburn, you may have a chronic gastrointestinal problem. Let your doctor know, and they may prescribe a PPI. This type of medication will control the acid reflux and chest tightness that comes along with it.[14]
- Alternatively, your doctor may prescribe an antidepressant. At low doses, some of them can have effects similar to a PPI's.
- Your doctor may start you on a relatively high dose, then gradually decrease it over a period of a few months.
- It's also possible that low acid production may cause you not to digest your food very well, in which case a digestive enzyme would be helpful. Talk to your doctor to get a complete diagnosis. A nutritionist can help you identify foods that are aggravating your symptoms.[15]

| How to Wear Off the Shoulder Tops Posted: 13 Jul 2018 09:00 AM PDT Off-the-shoulder tops are often the statement piece of an outfit. Since they're so versatile, you can wear them with anything — pair your off-the-shoulder top with high-waisted jeans and you've got a date night outfit, or wear your off-the-shoulder top with a long skirt if you're going to the office. By choosing a top that complements your figure and is comfortable, you'll be rocking the off-the-shoulder look all year long. EditChoosing the Right Fit - Pick an off-the-shoulder top that fits your height. The length of your off-the-shoulder top should correspond with your height. If you're on the taller side, you can balance your height out by wearing long tops. If you're shorter, it's better to stick to shorter off-the-shoulder tops, or tuck long tops into the front of your pants.[1]
- Longer tops are ones that can go below the waist of your pants or skirt, or ones that cover your butt when you wear them.
- Shorter off-the-shoulder tops could be crop tops or any tops that hit the waist of your pants or skirt or go above.
- Stick to styles that complement your figure. If you have a fuller chest, off-the-shoulder tops that are flowy or streamlined will look best on you. For smaller chests, you'll be able to pull off form-fitting off-the-shoulder tops. Whichever style is right for you, try it on before making a final decision.[2]
- For fuller chests, wide shoulders, or a larger build, try out an off-the-shoulder top that flows out from the top as opposed to one that's skin tight. A cold shoulder top — a top with only the shoulders cut out — will also look great.
- For smaller chests and a more petite form, wear off-the-shoulder tops that show your curves and cling to your skin more. You don't want to look swallowed in fabric, so be careful when looking at flowy tops.
- Decide on an off-the-shoulder top that allows arm movement. Off-the-shoulder tops can be restrictive when it comes to arm movement — moving around often causes the sleeves to scrunch up on your shoulders. If your top is too tight, you won't be able to move your arms at all. Look for an off-the-shoulder top that allows you to move your arms and is comfortable.[3]
- Clear elastic straps, such as the ones on bras, can be sold separately for $5-$10 and are found online. You can use these to attach to your top, if necessary.
- Find a strapless bra that fits you comfortably. One of the biggest problems people have with off-the-shoulder tops is that they eliminate many of your bra options. If you already have a strapless bra that fits you well, great! You can wear it with your off-the-shoulder tops. If you don't have a strapless bra, try to find one that's super comfortable and nude-colored so that you can wear it with almost anything.[4]
- Many clothing and lingerie stores will help you get fitted for the right strapless bra.
EditCreating a Casual Outfit - Wear your top with high-waisted jeans or a skirt for a relaxed look. Choose a soft, breathable off-the-shoulder top and pair it with high-waisted jeans. If you'd rather wear a skirt, choose an off-the-shoulder top that's a little more fitted. Wear shoes such as flats, sandals, or casual boots to complete the look.[5]
- Frilly, floral, or cropped off-the-shoulder tops look great with high-waisted jeans.
- If you're wearing a flowy skirt, choosing a top that's form-fitted will help balance out your outfit.
- Pair your off-the-shoulder top with jean shorts for warm weather. If you're trying to beat the heat, pick out a pair of shorts to wear with your top. If you're wearing a cropped off-the-shoulder top, you could wear high-waisted shorts. For longer tops, tuck the front into your jean shorts to make sure your shorts are seen.[6]
- Put on a pair of strappy sandals, and your outfit is complete.
- Throw on a pair of skinny jeans with your top for running errands. You can rock your off-the-shoulder top while shopping for groceries and visiting the bank, too. Pick out a pair of skinny jeans or colorful pants to wear with your top. You can put on your favorite pair of flats or tennis shoes to complete the relaxed outfit.[7]
- If you have a pair of colorful shoes you'd like to wear, put on black skinny jeans or regular skinny jeans to make the shoes pop with your top.
- Opt for a bodysuit off-the-shoulder top to wear with skirts. If you want to bare your shoulders while avoiding a loose top, try out a bodysuit. These cling right to your body while the rest of the off-the-shoulder top is styled normally. Since they're form-fitting, these tops are perfect for wearing with flowy skirts.[8]
- You can also wear this kind of top with jeans to avoid worrying about keeping your shirt tucked in.
EditPutting Together a Dressy Look - Select sleek pants or a streamlined skirt for elegant evening attire. You can find many sleek, elegant-looking off-the-shoulder tops that are perfect for a formal event or evening gathering. Choose an off-the-shoulder top in a neutral color, such as black, tan, white, or any other soft tone. You can pair your top with sleek, formal pants or a longer, straight skirt to complete the outfit.[9]
- Pick out a top that has a bit more length so that you can tuck it into your pants or skirt for a polished look.
- Pair a statement top with a pair of skinny jeans and heels. Choose a bold top, such as one that has puffy bell sleeves or a bright floral print, and wear it with a pair of dark skinny jeans. Wearing heels with your outfit will take it to a dressier level.[10]
- Other statement off-the-shoulder tops include bold stripes, bright colors, layers of lace and ruffles, or an off-the-shoulder top that comes as a set with matching pants.[11]
- You can choose heels that are bright and match a color in your top, or go with black that goes with everything.
- Wear cold shoulder tops with business-appropriate pants for a meeting. Cold shoulder tops are tops that have only the shoulders cut out of them, with straps to go on your shoulders and sleeves covering a section of your arms. Cold shoulder tops can be worn anywhere, but since they're modest and elegant, they can be worn at the office as well.[12]
- Pair your top with sleek business pants and heels or flats.
- If your top is billowy, choose a pair of pants that aren't billowy to create a balanced outfit.
- Wear an off-the-shoulder top with matching pants for a bold look. Some off-the-shoulder tops are part of a set, creating a powerful and bold style. Wear a black cropped off-the-shoulder top with black pants and colorful heels to stand out. If you find a patterned off-the-shoulder top that comes with matching pants, try out both to see how the bold look works for you.[13]
- Accessorize dressy outfits with as few pieces as possible. Since off-the-shoulder tops already draw attention to your neckline, it's not necessary to wear a lot of accessories. If you do choose to wear a necklace, aim for one that stays close to your neck, such as a choker or short necklace.[14]
- You can also choose to just wear statement earrings or sunglasses to make your look dressier.
