What Is The Treatment For Chest Tightness?

I have been suffering with a tight chest that feels as if I have a heavy weight on it. This started last year with me waking up occassionally with a shortage of breath and an indegestion type pain. The tightness has become more regular up until a few weeks ago when I did some physical work in the garden. I suffered heavier than normal pain which eased after a rest, pain killers and a hot bath. The tightness is now with me nearly all of the time and I now get a twinge across my chest a few times a day with pain or numbness in my left palm. Over the past month my lower eyelids have begun twitching, starting with the right and now affecting both eyes and is very irritating. I probably don't hacve the best diet in the world and do have quite a stressful job and 2 small children. Is this something that I should worry about or do you think that it will clear up in its own time?
