Though I assume that you have a combination of acidity and anxiety. In most cases, both go hand in hands. Acidity and gastric problem pushes the diaphragm up and thereby feeling chest tightness. Anxiety is the result. In other hand anxiety indices acidity and the acidity pushes the diaphragm up and chest tightness is the result. Therefore, you need to get treatment for acidity as well as anxiety.
