For the last hour i have had what feels like pressure in the middle of my chest and sometimes a shooting pain with it . what could it be ?

Muscle spasm: Fatigue, muscle spasm, shortness of breath caused by your anxiety disorder. It represents your body telling you to breath deeper, slower and to learn how to manage your stress better than clenching it up in your chest all of the time.
