For the last 2 weeks, I have been feeling some tightness around my heart area. It's not painful but uncomfortable. I am in very good shape. I work out on p90x 4 to 5 times a week. The tightness is now coming several times a day and I am just concerned about it now. What could be causing this?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Most common cause for chest tightness is stress and anxiety. But better to rule out heart diseases because you are having severe chest tightness in heart area. So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. 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. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
