    I think it probably is anxiety. Andiety can cause chest tightness and breathlessness even in the absence of fear.

    Do you ever get a wheeze?

    I feel tightening on my chest and narrowing of my throat..... when I feel that I know it’s anxiety..... I’ve had this for more than a month now . Don’t lay flat. Propped your head up. When I feel that I do some tapping on my chest. Look up some accupressure for anxiety this helps me. Did they give you meds for anxiety? I

    Hi 

    When that happens to me I do deep breathing exercises, look in you tube some accupressure I’ve learned. I start taking vitamin B, magnesium and multivitamins. 

    Anxiety sucks... I’ve been dealing with this for the past 2 months. I hope there’s a light at the end of the tunnel  for all of us. Debilitating !;(

    I have a lot of these same symptoms. I constantly fear I am going to have a heart attack or stop breathing. It is really difficult to make it through each day. I am planning on going to see a GP about it soon. Other than that I just started on lexapro and do therapy. Hopefully that will help. From what I’ve read it’s all just a manifestation of anxiety. Hopefully you can find some relief from the symptoms!
