I have cheast and throat tightness no heart problems in past i do have asthma and use to have panick attacks not any more. not sure what it is ?

Asthma or VCD?: Your symptoms could be related to vocal cord dysfunction (vcd) that is causing the throat tightness & possibly intermittent episodes of difficulty in breathing. Your symptoms could be relieved by learning breathing exercises such as relaxed throat breathing, diaphragmatic breathing and also through muscle tension releasing exercises. Please see a lung specialist for further evaluation.
