I have been feeling as my entire chest is being squeezed in and having pains in my left chest also have been feeling light headed. this has been happening for the past 6 months. I have been under moderate to heavy stress is this a heart issue or something else?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, your symptoms can be due to heart related diseases. Coronary artery disease, heart failure etc. cause chest tightness, pressure and squeezing type of chest pain. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal than no need to worry about cardiac diseases. You are also having stressful life. So possibility of stress and anxiety can also there. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright, but first rule out cardiac diseases. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
