What Causes Tightness In The Jaw And Chest Aches?

I have been experiencing an array of symptoms for some while now but especially severly in the last three weeks. I have face and jaw tightness, chest aches and upper back aches. I sometimes get fluttery feelings in my legs. I have had an ECG and no problems were detected. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are more suggestive of arrhythmia.
Ecg can be normal in arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart). So normal ecg can not rule out heart diseases in your case.
So get done 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If both these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia or other heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
