I am a 38 year old male, who in the last two to three years, experiences chest tightness regularly. It happens most within the first two hours of the day. Usually goes away after a shower. Worsens the day after excessive drinking. Beer seems to be fine, just no wine or liquor (used to be able to drink wine/liquor). If I drink too much beer, I do get the same effect. I am very addicted to smoking. The "Chest tightness" will go away when I drink beer only to return in the morning. I have a history of asthma. Some days I wake up and feel completely fine, but can never predict what kind of a day it will be. Some days it will stay with me the entire day. Some, it will go away. But is more and more frequent. I also experience anxiety regularly, and will manifest itself through physical symptoms. Usually cannot tell what is happening, or that a current symptom is related to the anxiety. My anxiety will appear as neck pain, back pain, chest tightness (I think) etc.... Thank you for your response.
Best.
