Chest distension and pain may result from contusion of nerves and musculoskeletal soft tissues. It may also be caused by conditions such as tuberculous pleuritis or pulmonary tuberculosis, which are often accompanied by symptoms including chest tightness, low-grade fever, and night sweats. Additionally, chest tumors may also cause such symptoms. Patients should seek medical evaluation at a hospital for further diagnostic testing and receive targeted treatment.
