Tight chest feels like lump in throat no ambition

Hi Bobcatking and Welcome

Your symptoms are very typical of Anxiety. Our feelings, our emotions are

felt in our chest and throat. The more we worry, the tighter our muscles get.

Of course, since we aren't doctors and can only go by our own experiences,

it is always in your best interest to have a doctor address this issue.

I'm happy you are here with us. You are not alone xx

It's crippling I feel like I'm dying Or going to

[Agora1 in reply to Bobcatking]

I understand dear.. It is a very frightening position to be in. The not knowing

our thoughts leading us to believe we are about to die. You haven't mentioned

if you are on medication or if you are seeing a therapist. Something is causing

these symptoms and if not physically then it needs to be addressed psychologically.

I know you are afraid but please get some answers for yourself starting with a doctor

so you know what direction you are going in. No one should have to live like this. xx

[Lazy_dog_lover]

Have you tracked what triggers it or increases in the tightness? What makes it reduce?

[Bobcatking in reply to Lazy_dog_lover]

No I have not and last for hours days ugh

[Lazy_dog_lover in reply to Bobcatking]

Start keeping a list, in your phone or a journal. Also note different techniques that you try to relieve the pains. Rule out medical explanations like angina.

Sounds like an anxiety attack, but definitely something you should get checked out by a Doctor. The first anxiety attack I had I went to Emerg as I thought it was A heart attack.. Welcome to the community and hope you feel better.
