As with all other anxiety disorders, the symptoms are all over the place and can include headaches, vomiting, nausea, chest pains, hyperventilating and so on. If you are experiencing tightness in chest with anxiety, you should take a deep breath and start to calming yourself down.
Usually what happens, is that when you experience tightness in chest area, you are experiencing a mix of different symptoms caused by anxiety. Anxiety itself, however, is not cause by tightness and you should step back and reexamine some of the things that are happening in your life.

- Do you eat good foods?
- Are you a positive thinker?
It’s no surprise that chest pains and tightness feelings come about as a result of bad habits and ways we lead our lives.
