Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all no need to worry for heart diseases.
Tietz syndrome is costochondritis and it can cause chest pain and chest tightness.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in costochondritis.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
3. Take painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
5. Wear rib belt.
6. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Divert your mind from this. Don't pay attention to this pain.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
