Hai,
if it occur frequently it should be treated as serious.
If you feel chest congestion in a closed chamber it will be due to lack oxygen (air)supply.
but if feel the same in much saturated oxygen then it should be ruled out.
stress and anxiety will induce congestion and suffocation.
kindly do ECG and Pulmonary function test to rule the cause.kindly visit a physician to examine you for proper assessment.
Because chest congestion will be there in both lung problem and heart problem.
thank you
hope i answered your query
