Chest Pain

Okay, I’m going to explain everything in detail. I was laying in bed and I was thinking about leaving the house and after thinking of that. That made me anxious just thinking about it! My heart started beating, and I have stomach butterflies then like 20 minutes that’s when the chest pain started. When I lay down my chest gets tight and I feel like I can’t get a DEEP breathe. When I stand and walk, I can breathe and get full breath without tightness in my chest. IT'S DAY 2 OF WAKING UP LIKE THIS AND MY CHEST IS TIGHT. And I’m the beginning remember how I said “I was thinking about leaving the house” That made me VERY ANXIOUS, haven't left the house in months and probably have agoraphobia but the people version.

I would recommend having a telemedicine visit with your primary care physician. You will likely require a psychiatric or psychological evaluation to rule up anxiety and panic attacks that may be responsible for your chest tightness and shortness of breath
