Common Questions and Answers about Health chest tightness or pressure
chest
Hi I am wondering if any of you have experienced chest tightness, or funny feeling in the pit of your stomach associated with withdrawals. I am on day 6 of a massive decrease in dose (i'm tapering). At about the same time everyday (before I would take the norco) I feel a tightening in my chest. My pulse and blood pressure are fine??? Is this common for withdrawal? What can I do to make it better? I'm trying not to take any ativan for it. Thank you any support will help.
When I was 7 weeks pregnant and 3 days I found out I was pregnant and it came as such a surprise. Towards the end of my 7th week to about 9 or 10 weeks I kept having what felt like pressure on my chest and I was having shortness of breath and felt like I couldn't breathe. I went to the E.R. because I thought that maybe I had developed asthma during my pregnancy. Turns out I was hyperventillating (breathing faster than I had to).
my husband age 49 has has had tightness in his chest for 2-3 weeks now. We went to the ER and they determined his blood tests were normal, lung sounds, blood pressure, pulse, ekg, chest xray and ultrasound of liver,kidneys, gall bladder and aorta all normal. admitted overnight, never could determine cause. He has asthma and family history of heart disease but everything is checking out normal. He is healthy, active and not overweight.
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.
s worst point - accompied by heavy sweating and severe tightness and thumping pain in my chest area. By the time I went to the ER (as recommended by a nurse) my heartbeat had come down but the tightness was still there. Everything was found to be normal except for a small arythmia - my palpitations lasting for about an hour in total.
Now, ever since its happened I've been feeling left sided pain above my breast non-stop. Should I be worried?
As I was in a taxi on my way to the airport, I felt a sudden crushing tightness in my chest. It became difficult to breathe. The tightness increased and finally the whole world went dark for a few seconds, then my legs and scalp felt very cold and tingly. I thought I had a mild heart attack. I boarded the plane and took the two hour flight.
t think there is anything more frightening than the heart palps or arm pain or chest tightness when working with anxiety. Its like anxiety to the nth degree, once you begin recovery you tell yourself, "its anxiety and I am working on correcting the problem" and then from out of no where comes another wave and another and the scareyness adds to the anxiety.
Also, sense you are getting knots in your right chest, if it happens particularly after eating fatty or other foods that are hard on a gallbladder, ask for an abdominal ultrasound to take a look at your gall bladder and duct work.
With the knot in right chest, pressure and tightness, did they probe for a tender spot in your chest?
As your body recovers from the stress response changes, this chest tightness symptom should subside. Keep in mind that it can take up to 20 minutes or more for the body to recover from a major stress response. But this is normal and shouldn’t be a cause for concern.
When this symptom is caused by persistently elevated stress, it may take a lot more time for the body to recover and to the point where this symptom subsides.
They also told me i was healthy and it wasnt my heart or anything. But still 3 weeks after the tightness and 2 hospital trips. I still have tightness in my chest, it gets annoying, and im constantly depressed, because im afraid the doctors missed something, and something bad will happen! Please help me.
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!
Last week, I had been out with my horse for a couple of hours, when all of a sudden, out of no where, I had the awfullest chest pain! It felt like something was crushing my entire chest, a tightness like a vice, something indescribable. The pain moved to between my shoulder blades and in my upper back.
I do have GERD and dont know if there is any connection between that and the pressure in my head. My doctor has told me the tightness in my chest is just due to the GERD. I have seen a chiropractor twice to adjust my neck in case of pinched nerve or stunted nerve flow to the brain. This hasnt relieved me of my symptoms. PLEASE HELP!
It becomes all the more significant because of your associated symptoms of dizziness. Cardiac pain or chest pain can be felt as a tightness and worsens with activity or exercise. It could be angina, pain due to inadequate supply of oxygen to the heart muscle. This could be more relevant if you are a smoker, are overweight, have a positive family history, are a diabetic and have hypertension. But when in doubt always best to have it checked.
This week ( a week since the appointment) I have been experiencing tightness in my chest. I am 20, not overweight, I play soccer, i have never had any problems in the past.....any advice or help would be nice.
P.S. I go to planned parenthood for that exam because i have no health insurance. As I have no health insurance I cannot go to the doctor....
