What Is The Cause Of Tightness In The Chest?

Hi I'm Victoria I'm a 19 year old femal. I've been getting a lot of stress. I think I might have some problems with heart or I'm thinking it might just be anxiety but I might be wrong. So when I lay down on my bed or on the couch on the side for long or just for a little while and start moving to anther position to be comfortable there's a lot of tightness or pressure its very sore not painful just extreamly sore. I do experience numbness or soreness on my arms and jaw sorenss and I feel like there's something a lil more on the left side of my throat and my stomach is also sore

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion your symptoms are mostly due to anxiety.
But better to rule out cardiac cause first.
So get done ecg. If ecg is normal then no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Anxiety appears more in your case due to stress.
Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
I find this answer helpful
