Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

DHEA diet not going to harm you. This is even recommended in anxiety and it helps anti anxiety drug if taken with these drugs. There is lot of stuff available over the internet that states something wrong and it should be taken with pinch of salt.
Yes chest tightening occurs when you have allergic reaction and in that case it should be avoided.
