Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related chest tightness and pressure is more.
But better to first rule out heart related diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
