Chest Tightness, Urge To Cough, Dizziness, Heart Fluttering, Jaw Tingling. What Could Be The Cause?
Hello. I have been experiencing chest tightness all throughout the day and sometimes feel like I need to cough. Last night I had some dizziness but don't recall having the chest tightness then, but did have some heart fluttering which has happened in my past before. I also had some tingling pain in my jaw tonight on and off for about 30 minutes, which again, has happened in my past several times but with the chest tightness it has me worried. Not sure what to think.....

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Fluttering points to a change heart beats – fast or slow / regular or irregular
In association with dizziness and chest tightness, it needs investigation
You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender...which could influence the diagnosis and outcome.../ and the limited information provided is not sufficient enough to arrive at an appropriate conclusion... / Arrhythmia and Coronary Artery Diseases, in particular needs to be evaluated
You need physical examination and investigation – EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
