Depends: Chest tightness can be a symptom of heart disease but may be may other things such as esophageal spasms, respiratory disorders (asthma, COPD, bronchitis, infections), and muscle problems to name a few. It really depends on the clinical situation and other symptoms you may be having.

Duration? Severity?: How long? How bad? I don't know your age. If older, could be a problem with heart. Contact MD ASAP to discuss.
