What can my chest tightness be from?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I went to doctor last week because my throws was killing me, I was told I have a sinus infection. I'm day 3 on antibiotics but I also feel shortness of breath at times and I clear my throat. I don't k ow what it can be. But I'm so scared it's something really bad. I feel that's making it so much worse

Has anyone had these feelings before?

    Hello, you don't say what age you are? Chest tightness can be caused by many medical conditions from asthma, COPD and unfortunately heart disease. I'm not trying to worry you but it needs investigation. I have angina and I'm only 39 years old. Never smoked and stopped drinking at 27. My symptoms were chest tightness on excersion that would radiate into my throat. Also the tightness would be triggered by cold weather. I pray to God it's something simple and not serious. Best wishes
