Common Questions and Answers about Chest tightness for days
chest
hello friends ive been experiencing chest tightness in the middle of my chest for the past 10 days in that time ive been through 2 alcoholic benders of 2 days a piece ive been clean since july 1st after going to the er..they detoxed me for only 1 day and would not give me an echo due to the fact i got one 9 months ago they did an ekg and chest ex ray and said it was not my heart but everytime i stand up for long periods of time or walk my chest seems to tighten up...
Things got better for a few days, then seemed to return. tightness in the chest, fever, breathing problems and a lot of fatigue. I looked on a few websites and it seems to be a recurring theme. Some people have had it on and off since christmas. Not sure if you have the same thing, but there is definately something going around with the symptoms you mention.
I am a 29 year old who has been having chest tightness for about 3 days with a headache that comes and goes. I went to an urgent care for them to tell me nothing except that my vital signs are healthy, take no xrays, take no blood, etc. They prescribed me an inhaler thinking that it was an allegarine asthma. IT hasn't helped so far. When I work out, it doesn't bother me anymore. I am not short of breath; however, to take a deep breath takes a little more effort.
My skin on the left left leg is rough and has some black marks. This is itchy.
It has been always five weeks since I was discharged from hospital now and since then I have developed chest tightness in the central region each time I take a deep breath. I also notice that I now feel tire easily and can't do any strenous work as my chest area feel kind of tight and tender.
The latest x-ray results (two days ago) showed nothing and the nurse told me that my lungs are all clear.
But right now as I write, I feel something not normal with my chest as it feels tight.
Hi, I am a 16 year old female and I went under a catheter ablation for my Afib 3 weeks ago. They destroyed one of the two pathways in my heart. Since then I've been experiencing a lot of chest pain. More recently I'm having a lot of chest tightness, like my chest is being pushed together. I have high anxiety so my mind immediately thinks I'm going to have a heart attack. I went to the cardiologist a week ago and they took an ultrasound and said my heart looked strong and healthy.
I would normally say to talk to your dr about this, but you already have and you say that you don't notice it when you aren't thinking about it. I think this is your anxiety and OCD as they can cause these symptoms. However, it can be a case of "Which came first? The chicken or the egg?" = Do you think about it and the symptoms set in? Or do the symptoms set in so then you think about it.?
hi all, im a 15 year old girl who is fit and healthy apart from this fustrating weird tightness that I have been suffering from for 8 months now. back in 2009, I went on hoilday from my home in NZ to England which is a long filght of around 24 hours. Within a few days of arriving in the UK, I began to experience a mild chest tightness that wouldnt ease with taking asthma inhalers. i suffered with the tightness for about the first 4 weeks of my 5 week hoilday there.

Hi, cough, chest tightness and breathlessness the three symptoms are the triad of symptoms for Asthma. But sometimes it just presents with chest tightness or cough. If you have family history then your symptoms could be due to asthma. When in doubt have yourself evaluated for the same. This can be detected by a spirometry test. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Regards.
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.
I'm a white male, 6"0", 170lb, 21 yrs old and am fairly active. I dont work out but I just got a job as an x-ray tech 4 weeks ago and work 40+ hours each week, so I'm up and walking around and stay moving most of the time, other than that Im just an average guy, to give an idea of my activity level. So... for the past 3-4 days I've had tightness in my chest, I feel short of breath and feel occasional dizziness and tingling/numbness in my lips and fingers.
I totally understand.
Are you being treated for the panic disorder? If you aren't, I would strongly recommend getting into some therapy (CBT) to find the root cause of your panic. Once you've identified that, your therapist can give you a great deal of knowledge to understand why you suffer from it and tools to help you overcome it.
Your therapist can teach you various breathing exercises to help when you get that suffocating feeling. They work.
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.

You ever get out of breath?
t eat much and not sleeping well, reason why was that i was worried about pain that was in my testicle but found out that is was a epidyimal cyst and that it was nothing to worry about. Now i am back to my routine and seem to be having some chest tightness. I am wondering if it was from all the stress i was putting myself under or is it probably from my ablation and it is just healing? Idk I go see the doctor who performed my ablation on friday.
My heart rate was at 114-120bpm for a few days, was AWFUL. My chest hurt SO bad. I almost worried about it, but knew it was from the STRESS.
I read that if it's in the center of your chest, it is almost 100% anxiety/stress related. In my case, my body was going through havoc. This passed for me. It will pass for you once you find the root cause. Anxiety stinks, but it won't kill you. :)

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).
I am sixteen years old. I am an asthmatic, although it rarely troubles me and I use my inhaler on a very rare basis. I have been on and off sick with the flu and I'm relatively sure I haven't recovered one hundred percent. However, lately I have begun to feel a significant tightness of my chest - to the point where it's panicking. There is also pain in the left side of my chest and the sensation of pins and needles.
