Suggest Treatment For Chest Tightness And Palpitations
I've been having heart palpitations lately, along with a tight throat, a heavy chest, and white spots on the back of my throat. I have woken up a couple times from what seems to be a sort of apnea, and i have trouble getting to sleep because of the palpitations... i am constantly aware of the tightness in my chest and my throat.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to throat infection (considering the white spots).
For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician as soon as possible for a physical exam and some tests (complete blood count, a throat bacterial culture, PCR, ESR).
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
