I have the EXACT issues that you are having. I feel so good after doing 30 minutes on the elliptical and some toning stuff. My chest tightens as the day goes on and I thought maybe it was my underwire. I’ll just be sitting on the couch and my heart flutters to where I have to cough. It’s like it takes my breath away. My chest is constantly tight for 2 months now. It all started with these pains that felt like someone was poking me with a poker under my left breast. Pain sometimes radiates throughout my body. I get headaches. Numbness and tingling in my left arm and sometimes my legs. Dizziness. I have gone to the doctor and of course he prescribed anxiety meds and told me to go to a “Behavioral Therapist”. My bloodwork Great, my heart function great. My resting rate is around 62. I went and got a mammogram, per doctor request, fine. I am going for a heart monitor next month. Yep, takes that long. I honestly feel like it’s a blocked artery but my doctor doesn’’t Want to do the tests. He said that if I feel that bad to go to the emergency room and they will automatically run all the tests. I am so frustrated!

Wow, he won't order the tests to see if an artery is clogged?! Seems like a stress test and ultrasound would be in order.

My friend was always complaining of chest pains but all the tests were normal. It turned out to be costochondritis.
Take care,

trenee, did anything end up helping you? I am still having these issues, and am wondering if you've found anything to help you. My anxiety and insomnia is only relieved by massive fatigue that makes me sleep. Im convinced I will die in my sleep.
