Occasionally Get Severe Chest Tightness Giving A Feeling Of Heart Attack, Snapping In Adam's Apple, Breathing Difficulty. Cause?
I am 30 year old male and for a long time now I ocassionally get severe tightness in my chest almost feels if as I am having a heart attack but my heart does not hurt and it gets hard to breathe. Also recently I had coughed so hard while having difficulty breathing that it had felt as if my Adam s apple had snapped if that makes any sense and now there has been a weird feeling.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
You should be able to differentiate between chest tightness and constriction. Just consult a general physician and confirm that your chest tightness is not related to any heart ailments.
From the description you gave, it seems to be a problem of gastric derangement and anxiety thereof. Best option is to consult a physician and then psychologist.
Get well soon.
