Avatar f tn I started eating a double chocolate protein bar and immediately upon finishing I started getting tightness in my chest . Now, I do have acid reflux but it was not heartburn I really panicked there and started to think this is it I am having a heart attack..Ι got a coca cola and started burping. But I have never felt tight chest before so worried. Didn't have any other symptoms with the tightness and pulse / oxygen etcc was very normal. should I go to the cardiologist again??
973741 tn?1342342773 With a feeling of dread and worry or even physical sensations like chest tightness and those other familiar body feelings of anxiety. I've had that in the morning the past two weeks for no actual reason other than sending my child off to live in his college dorm. Which, for a mom is a big deal. And then a few other ongoing stressors. But this sensation in the morning is really uncomfortable. I'm really not anxious over all right now.
Avatar f tn During the day, I also feel some random pain in my left or right chest when I breath out. Sometimes I feel pain in the center of my chest right next to my left breast, sometimes the pain is under my left or right breast. My family doctor has taken pictures a few times but couldn't see anything. She thinks I don't have any problem. Each time I was happy to hear that. But at the same time, I know my symptom is developing. Hope somebody can explain.
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 m tn I am a 48 year old female. I have a problem with total boby tingling upon waking, even my head and face, sometimes feeling like I have been breathing too shallow. This has been happening for about one yr. I occassionally have tingling throughtout the day in my legs, arms, and scalp. I spoke to my pcp about this problem and he said "That doesn't make since" and changed the subject. When sleeping I periodically wake with an arm, leg, or my side tingling.
Avatar f tn I have been having chest pain, tightness in throat and chest pain. I have been in and out of the doctors for the past two months. They say my lungs are clear. I have been given steriods and have been giving myself breathing treatments at home. I am on advair, sigular, and xolair, nothing is working. I have been trying aromatherapy to relieve the pressure and constant tightness but it is only temporary. I am having difficulty sleeping because I keep waking up with shortness of breath.

Avatar n tn tightness in chest and difficult breathing after using a chemical tile sealant
Avatar f tn For the last month or so I have had chest pains (chest tightness etc) and have been waking up during the night struggling to breath. I have had severe night sweats and this is something I am very worried about. Was wondering if anyone else suffers from this and could tell me what i may be. Would like to add that I am an anxious person so not sure if it is getting made worse because of this.
Avatar m tn For the past few months, I have had a chronic chest tightness upon waking up in the morning. I sometimes have excessive burping. I sleep very well and no problems while laying down. It seems that I can 'push' a spot just to the left of my sternum that is more sensitive. I can 'crack' my sternum (loud, large cracking sound) by just pushing on it. A few months ago, I had esophagal spasms - which seems to have been relieved naturally (or travelled or something)....
Avatar m tn this could be pluerisy, you'll need to see a doctor for treatment, or just a trapped nerve, see your doc
Avatar m tn 33 Year old smoker, You used to be a fairly heavy drinker for 12 years but quit 2 weeks ago and I keep waking up with chest tightness over the last 4 weeks that feels like heavy pressure. I get cold and clamy hands today I had minor electic shock feeling around my heart that came and went for seconds at a time I also was able to bike ride 40 -60 miles a week 4 weeks ago now I cant walk around the block without being out of breath and feel my heart pumping hard and feel like im gonna pass out.
Avatar m tn Moritz, it can be caused from a number of things....Blood vessels, arteries, nerves, ....I would suggest getting in to see a doctor asap. For sure it isn't normal to wake with a numb leg....
780665 tn?1239026549 Chest tightness all the time. I have it all the time, night and day. Anxiety. It wont go away. I feel my chest will explode. My heart beats so fast. Seems it is common. I did not know that. Relieved it is not only me. Helps to know others feel it too. No help to you though.
Avatar m tn t mention any other symptoms, like coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing or chest tightness? GERD sometimes can cause problems where the stomach contents aspirate high enough up the esophagus to reach the voice chords or into your lungs. When it hits the sensitive tissue of the vocal chords it does damage and the response is to produce mucous.
7746843 tn?1393860175 I wake up at least 3 times throughout. I have been noticing a change in my mornings for the past 2 weeks or so. When upon waking up my heart feels like its pounding/racing at the same time. I thought it was just my imagination but one morning my boyfriend put his head up to my chest and made a comment without me asking to listen to my heart. I also feel like my body is extremely tense throughout the night and upon waking up.

1085442 tn?1257286179 I am a five year anxiety attack sufferer, and I'm mostly convinced that these events are anxiety-based. I'm want to make sure that treating these symptoms as anxiety is the correct thing to do. I am a 29 year old male, being treated for high blood pressure with atenolol, lisonipryl, and HCTZ. I weigh 225 lbs, which is not overweight on my body frame/muscle mass.
Avatar n tn It been two months since I stopped it and ive been waking up with a painful chest. Nasty cough and green phlegm. Its only in the morning and it seems to taper off during the day and gets bad at night again. I find it weird because with my asthma I usually get shortness of breath and its usually constant all day. Do you think my adthma is coming back to normal or do you think this isn't related to my asthma?
Avatar f tn It is a non-productive cough and there are no other symptoms except some tightness in my chest. My PCP referred me to a pulmonary doctor. I have a pulmonary function test on the 15th and then my appointment on the 23rd. I am kind of nervous because I am a smoker and have been for over 20 years. My co-workers swore it was whooping cough, but I do not really have any of the symptoms other than the coughing. Has anyone else experienced this type of cough?
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.
