Suggest Cause For Chest Tightening
Saturday evening, I had a sudden tightening in my chest as if someone was squeezing my heart. I became very warm and lightheaded and felt "out of it". I had a nitro pill with me and took it and it seemed to relief the discomfort but left me feeling like I was kind of floating.
