A member asked:
I have this feeling of tightness and pain in chest when very anxious. is it dangerous for my health and how to prevent it?

Depends: You don't give your age or sex, family history or medical history. If you are female, are less than 50, don't have a family history of heart problems and are healthy, it probably isn't dangerous except for your mental health. You may need to learn some stress management techniques, like mindfulness meditation. Good luck!
