Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The given description is not enough to get into a proper diagnosis. Though I assume that you have a combination of cidity 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 aciity pushes the diaphragm up and chest tightness is the result. Therefore you need to get treatment for acidity as well as anxiety.

If you require more of my services in this regard, please post a direct query and I shall be happy to provide you psychotherapy tips.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
