Hello
Tightness in chest shouldn't be taken lightly in your age.It is important to rule out cardio-pulmonary cause.
You need investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,ECG in all leads,chest X-ray (PA view),liver function test,renal function test.TMT and ECHO can done if needed.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
