General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

-looking at your mitral prolapse history & taking blood pressure medicine, chest tightness, some possibility of coronary is there.

But you do not mention of difficult breathing or sweating along with the symptoms.

So I would suggest checking for a heart problem (stress test on trade mill)

-The same symptoms could be with gallery to cold... but here you would show some wheezing.

A heart/ chest physician would help you to pinpoint/exclude these causes followed. y specific treatment. But do not neglect, please get checked.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
