Title should read HEAVY chest feeling, poor typing skills there.
For a while now I've been experiencing a heavy, tight sensation in my chest to varying degrees throughout each day. Its not exactly a pain but I'm quite aware of it and it seems to get worse the more panicky/anxious I feel at the time. I've read it can be caused by hyperventilation but I'm getting worried at the increasing regularity of it. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that others have experienced this feeling purely due to anxiety before.
It takes all my willpower to focus away from it and then it does begin to subside, but I feel that its always there ever so slightly and seems to be worse at night when I feel more panicky. I've been checked out by numerous doctors and hospitals and there's nothing wrong they can find. My general anxiety state is of course making me think about it more, I just wonder if there's anything I can do to reduce the feeling. Any help at all? :)
