Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
Your current symptoms may be due to:
-Cardiac related
-Stress and anxiety related
Stress and anxiety also increases chances for developing cardiac symptoms. It is better to visit ER as soon as possible to rule out cardiac problem.
Wish you Good Health and all the best.

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
It is likely that your symptoms may due to the anxiety and stress which you have been experiencing recently. Anxiety can manifest itself with not only psychological symptoms but with a variety of physical symptoms also - like rapid heart beat, shakiness, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest tightess, etc.
However, it is better to have a medical evaluation to rule out any medical problems / cardiac cause for your chest pains. So, please see your doctor for a physical examination, and if necessary further investigations.
Wish you all the best.
