Squeezing feeling in chest, really scary!!
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi everyone,
I'm 22 years old, relatively healthy, since august last year i've been getting a scary sensation in my chest, can't thing of anything that's brought it on. I also have internal tremors (I think that's what they are)
I get flutters daily in my chest or a 'sinking' feeling then one big beat then it goes to normal, most recently though I can feel my chest quiver daily, sometimes I can feel it coming, then it's a massive squeezing feeling my body goes warm my hands go tingly then my heart rate goes up really quick, sometimes a few seconds sometimes a few minutes- either way it's terrifying!
I also get the feeling when in bed when I'm not tired enough just to go to sleep it feels like my whole body is being squeezed and filled with pressure then after a few seconds just goes- it's really scary, I've had 2 ECGs but nothing has showed up, probably because the feelings are so quick and random that I didn't have it whilst having the ECG done. Can anyone reassure me? going to try and get an appointment next week I've written everything down, I just feel people think i'm being overdramatic because of my age- I do have anxiety but I feel like doctors put everything down to anxiety- I know my body and this isn't related- thanks!

Some medical causes for chest tightness can stem from a muscle strain, asthma, ulcers, a rib fracture, pulmonary hypertension, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Aside from a medical reason, chest tightness can be caused by an active stress response, also known as the “flight or fight” response
