Does anxiety cause tightness in the heart

Anxiety may: certainly cause chest tightness, but if you are having unexplained chest pain you need to get evaluated to establish a diagnosis and make sure it is not related to cardiac or other causes.

Anxiety: can manifest in tightness in the chest. This may or may not be related to an underlying medical condition. Please start w/a visit to your doctor. You next step can be seeing a clinical psychologist for some training in anxiety management. Peace and good health.
