Don't guess it! Talk to doctor or other . If it feel s tight and like a brick on your chest it could be heart but you need a prompt diagnosis as anxiety can make it worse.

Hi, have you ever had a Spirometry test to check that your asthma is asthma? Sounds daft I know, but 20+ years after being diagnosed with asthma my husband was prescribed beta blockers for cardiomyopathy and had a Spirometry test in case they affected his asthma...only to be told he hasn’t got asthma. I’d suggest talking to your HP and perhaps ask for some tests to check what respiratory and/or heart conditions you actually have.

Best wishes.
