245504 tn?1224099316 I have had anxiety/panic attacks for at least 12 years. I am in one of my anxious kicks (hypochondriac) lately and am experiencing a "new" symptom of intermittent chest tightness on the upper left side of my chest (almost near shoulder). It just comes and goes and it is just a tight sensation. I have read this could be anxiety and am wondering if anyone else experiences this. FYI I recently had a echo done that was all good and holter monitor showing Sinus Rhythm/Sinus Tach.
Avatar m tn For a week, I have had tightness in my chest. It doesn't hurt, just a constant tight feeling. I have no problems breathing or swallowing. I have been having back muscle stiffness, and overall muscle tingling. For the past two months I have had major sinus drainage from allergies.

Avatar m tn I am a 24 year old male and have been experiencing tightness in neck, chest, and sometimes shoulder area. The tightness is not painful like I could have a heart attack but more irritating. I had surgery for a hiatal hernia and had laparoscopic fundoplication done and I also have scoliosis. I've been to a chiropractor for my tightness to see if that would help but it just came right back. Wonder if this could be related to my scoliosis.
Avatar m tn I had diep flap a month ago and still feel tightness around the chest flap area. Do you still have the feeling of tightness? The sports bra i am wearing i think make it worse.
Avatar n tn I get costochondritis, but for me it feels more like an inflammatory-type pain in between my ribs which makes it very difficult to take a deep breath. I believe costochondritis is treated with an anti-inflammatory medication. Sometimes a pain or pressure in the area under the sternum is a GI issue from stomach bloating and/or gastric reflux. Stomach bloating can press on your diaphragm making it difficult to breath.
Avatar f tn I have been dealing with anxiety for 1.5 years. I am now off all meds. I still struggle with chest tightness and shortness of breath daily. It's an up and down thing but pretty constant. Does anyone else have that constant anxiety symtom?

Avatar n tn On random days I get these chest pains/tightness where when I sneeze, breath deeply, or stretch back it hurts especially when I sneeze my parents say that it is most likely Acid Reflux as my Dad had that a while back so I just want to make sure that this is the cause or something else!

1446980 tn?1286838538 I find that getting a massage is a great way to help with muscle tightness. Although modalities like Reiki, Reflexology, Acupuncture etc are great, a simple and cheap way of obtaining muscle relief is foam rolling. Foam Roles are easily available, usually in sport stores. I foam roll when I have a good day and that way I can maintain the pain.

Avatar f tn On Tuesday the same exact pain then went to the right leg in the same area with some muscle tightness. Wednesday morning I woke up in the middle of the night with a throbbing behind the knee. Wednesday afternoon I got a quick pins and needs down my right arm and decide to go to the hospital. The hospital ruled out DVT and my blood test were normal and they said to follow up with a nuroelogist.
Avatar m tn All this went away and then came chest pain, tightness, numbness in the left arm. Doctor prescribed muscle relaxer, and for the pain. Don't take it much only when realy needed and in small amounts. What have really helped is my positive thinking, being optimistic about life. I started taking again the B12, Vitamin C and some magnesum which has helped alot. Good Luck and God Bless You.
Avatar n tn Hello, For a couple months now, I have been experiencing random shortness of breath, chest tightness/heaviness, and throat tightness. The shortness of breath seems to get worse when I lay down. I have had several EKGs, an echocardiogram, and a chest X-ray done; my heart is completely fine. Could this be caused by allergies? GERD? Thank you!
Avatar f tn However, when there is chest pain when taking a deep breath can be due to costochondritis....pulled muscle in the chest wall, inflammation of cartilage of chest wall, good be irritation of lung lining, etc. other pulomonary issues. You may want to get physical evaluation, as a heart problem can't be ruled out, and/or pulmonary malady.
Avatar m tn tall and currently weight about 130lbs. For the past 3-4yrs I have been having tightness in my chest (on the left side, in the region surrounding the heart). It seems to come on randomly, and seems to be present very often during the day - I notice it more when I am sitting (especially when I hunch). And there are some days when I don't seem to detect it (it is probably there, but I don't notice it).
Avatar m tn ll tense up really bad, all my muscles will get severly tight, occassionally my chest will hurt, from muscle tightness, other then that no pain, just super tight/stiff all over my body. The sensation comes and goes, someday's better then others, but the nervous condition is alway's there. Symptom is driving me nuts, I have no idea, what's causing. Diabetic/hormone leves in normal range. Appears my body is deficient in vitamins or something.
Avatar n tn I want to add I had the cramps in my throat and face too. The same twinges if sudden cramp all over face and thraot and under toungue. Toungue stiffness and thraot stiffness. Its like constant state of tightness in throat that makes it difficult to swallow. Just like calf will be sore for days after cramps, throat stiffens like that. Talking chewing swallowing makes it worse anf even the tightness make me gag at times. It even in my stomach and ribs.
Avatar n tn Last Tuesday as I was getting to sleep I began to notice weakness in my left arm and left leg along with chest tightness and palpitations. I drove myself to the ER where they did an EKG, chest xrays, and bloodwork, all of which came back normal. They said I had anxiety and gave me a prescription for Xanax which completely removed all my symptoms.
Avatar f tn For about 3 months, I have been experiencing chest tightness especially at night. It is worst around 2-4 in the morning. My chest feels tight on the left side. When I put my hand on top of it and apply a little pressure, it feels better. As soon as I take my hand off, it goes back to feeling tight. I am a little freaked out because, of course, when I put my hand on top of the area, I can feel my heart beat so I know it's really close or right on top of my heart.
Avatar f tn For about 4 months now I've been having chest pain. It feels like a tightness and sharp pain in the middle and left side of my chest. I also get a racing or slow heart beet and out of breath fast. It hurts off and on throw out the day. It lasts about an hour or two at a time. I have been to the ER twice, they tested me for a blood clot, did ex-rays and an eight. They said they did see nothing wrong and said it was probably brused mucles.
