Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) for your random chest tightness.
So get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
