Any connection between tightness in chest and neuropathy, including full body SFN and
 
Can any one tell if there is a connection between verry tight chest, feels like spasm, and the above neuropathies?
Had if for 1 year. Has had all cardiac work up including cardiach cath. Has had complete pulmonary work up wit ct scan, CXR, Pulmonary function test, even bronchoscopy.
Now I am starting to wonder if those small fiber neuropathy can cause muscle spasm in chest muscles and in those muscles between ribs.
I do have terrible paresthesia of arms, with spasm and numbness pins and needle, on the worst days, I end up with arm/hand weakness and tremors of hands.
My chest tightness often comes at the same days that my parashesia is at it's worse.
could there be a connection?
In that case, I do not understand why doctors do not think about the different diagnosis one person has, and connect the dots.

Could it be any type of repetitive strain issue or perhaps thoracic outlet syndrome?
We have a forum on those for more information..
