    I get tightness in my chest a lot when I'm anxious.  However, if you're worried about these physical symptoms you might want to have a dr. check it out anyway if anything to put your mind at ease.

    Yes that tight feeling in the throat and pain in chest can be caused by anxiety.  But have the chest pain checked out because its probably nothing, but is causing you more anxiety and you'd feel better knowing.  If it is something, then it should be taken care of.
