Since Monday(hours after reading about the footballer that died of a heart attack) I've been having on and off on and chest tightness and discomfort. It is concentrated on the left side around where my heart is and can last for hours.
At first I thought i was my asthma but after a visit to my doctor on Monday he said I wasn't wheezing so he put it down to being anxiety.
3 days later and still having the symptoms has left me unconvinced, i am now thinking this is the first stage of some serious cardiac problem.
I Googled the difference between cardiac chest discomfort and anxiety chest discomfort and i don't know what to make of it as I share symptoms of both.
I don't know whether its my heart,lung or just chest muscle tension and the only way i could describe it is as if someone is pressing down on my chest.
