Understanding Chest Tightness: Anxiety vs. Other Causes


Question
What does is mean when there is a tight feeling in your chest as if you needed to stretch, can you offer any insight?

Answer
Hi Terrell,
You don't give your age or if you have any illnesses, so I'll assume that you're young and healthy. If you have this feeling and you don't have any pain or shortness of breath with it, it probably represents a manifestation of anxiety. If you are concerned about it, a visit to your healthcare practitioner for an evaluation is a good idea.
