What Is The Tightness And Tingling Sensation In My Chest?

Hi. I have a tightning sensation in my chest, like one of my children is sitting on me. I feel a bit breathless. I have on and off chest pains. I was up last night with neck and shoulder pains. Tonight I have pain running down my left leg and slight chest pains. I have jumpy "popcorn" sensations in the chest - like I've a butterfly or something flying around. I feel cold, like I've a temperature. I took myself to the hospital Thursday morning because I felt so ill, with chest pains. They found nothing after doing heart monitoring with sticky things on me and after doing a scan on my organs. One of the doctors thought that perhaps I have a problem with the digestion. We have a lot of stress at the moment financially.

I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for major heart or lung related diseases as your reports are normal.
Since you are having stressful life, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.

Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
