Sleep deprivation: can increase paranoia. Anxiety can produce feelings in chest. Please see your doc to rule out medical conditions. Then see a mental health professional to help diagnose and treat whatever is going on. Please don't use medication only. Learn coping methods from therapist who specializes in mood disorders. Peace and good health.

Stay calm: Sounds like you are experiencing anxiety. Start some deep breathing relaxation exercises, avoid any caffeinated beverages. If your worsening acne is triggering this, get a referral to a dermatologist.
