I also get the feeling of a tight rope drawn around my waste or higher up. Seems to come on when I eat more salt than usual. After alittle while, it subsides. Taking time released metropolol, Low dose. If I take more, I have no spirit to do anything, no sex drive, no appetite to exercise. Only live from habit. No way to live. 72 and struggling with myself. Depression also comes and goes. Brother dying of cancer. We had a sad relationship which was mostly no relationship after the age of 9. This finalizing that we will never connect makes me sad. But am grateful that he had a successful life. And so did I though they were very different. Separating the physical heart stuff from the emotional heart stuff just isn't possible in my life. We are a whole person.

I was on slow release metropolol(beta blocker) felt like crap, rtightness in chest and upper body. Short of breath and would jump at a.pin drop. My flight instinct was severely compremised. Short tempered
Now I am back to normal since I weaned myself off!!
I did a lot of research and that beta blocker was # 1 on the list of worst beta blockers available!! Not a doctor but I know when my body is off.
