Can Medication For Anxiety Cause Sense Of Tightness In Chest?

My heart has been feeling strained the last couple of days. I ve also felt heavy/a little dizzy at times. I am on anxiety medication and just increased my dosage a couple days ago, but wasn t sure if these feelings were from my anxiety and/or the medication. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
