Hello, Since you are on a Chat Doctor diet and are now experiencing discomfort, it can be due to it. Side effects include restlessness, fatigue, depression, irritability, etc. Stop Chat Doctor diet for a while and switch on to normal diet. But keep your treating doctor informed. Other causes of chest tightness can be angina, acid reflux, asthma, etc. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. You will have to get blood and imaging tests done. Take PPI's for relief. You can take acetaminophen, one SOS when pained. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected and the clinical condition. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
