This depends on what you mean by "chest." Air in your chest cavity is usually caused by a sucking chest wound, most commonly found in deep puncture wounds to the abdomen. The space in the abdominal cavity is filled with air from the outside environment, putting external pressure on the lungs from inside the body, making it more difficult for the lungs to fill with air. Eventually, the lungs would cease to function due to so much pressure and the individual would suffocate without emergency treatment.
If you mean "chest" as in your lungs, than no. You want air there, all the time - it's good for you...I promise.
