Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you to consult a physician for health check up and to determine your health otherwise is perfect. In that case, if your doctor is sure, the present symptoms are caused by stress, you should learn stress and its symptoms. During stress, body stops all those unnecessary processes within body so as to prepare for some eventuality. One such process is digestion. Because of this action acid reflex develops and the gas pushes the diaphragm up. Because of this action, the already full chest cavity, experiences pressure and you feel this pressure as tightness or pain. You become anxious and you feel palpitation. Please consult a psychologist for necessary counseling and therapy.
