A member asked:

My heart and lungs are healthy, but i have chest tightness and shortness of breath, is it all in my head?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not an easy answer: Hard to know for sure, there are certainly many causes of chest tightness and shortness of breath, a common one in your age group is anxiety/panic disorder, however would be a diagnosis of exclusion after other, more serious causes are ruled out.
