What Does Chest Tightness With Negative Cardiac Tests Indicate?
Question: no pain just chest tightness like someone is constricting the center of my chest for two months now its pretty constant no other symptoms ive had multiple tests done like stress test on heart echcardiograms and so on everything is normal I just want other peoples opinion on what could cause this everyone has said constant anxiety what are your thoughts
Brief Answer:
Most probable cause for complains is anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
You have negative cardiac tests and chest tightness for 2 months which rule out hear attack.
You were diagnosed anxiety which can be the most probable cause of your complains.
You were ruled out GERD also.
I think you doctor has diagnosed you correctly
Anyway the remaining thing that can cause similar complains are vertebra problems or costochondritis. So you can check these also if you are not sure with the diagnosis.
Wish you good health
If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask
Regards,
