Tightening Feeling in Chest

[Guest guest]

Occasionally, I'll get a tightening feeling behind my breastbone.

When it happens it only lasts for about 20 seconds, but I have to

hold my breath when I get this pain, as when I try to take a deep

breath to relieve the pain it gets worse. I've gotten this pain for

as long as I can remember but maybe only a few times a year. Lately,

though, it seems to be happening more frequently. I want to avoid

going to pcp if possible, but, I'm concerned maybe I should get it

checked out. Has anyone else had anything similar or know what it

could be?

My oldest daughter and myself get this. Feels like a stabbing pain but is worse if you dont hold your breath. Sometimes it hurts so bad I feel as if i will pass out. We were both told it was from stress and getting to tired. We both have mitral valve prolaps. I hope this helps and you find the answers you need.

Did you give a thought to reflux? I am told it feels much like a

heart attack pain in the chest.
