Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
The symptoms that you have mentioned such as chest pain, chest tigntness and breathing difficulty can be seen in panic attacks. However, they can also be due a variety of other medical causes.
It may not be a good idea to make conclusions without having a proper medical evaluation. So, I would suggest that you see your doctor and report your problems, so that you can have a detailed examination and evaluation in order to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
