What Causes Painful Tightness Radiating From Throat Towards The Upper Chest?
I have experienced today, the second time in 4 months, a tense pain and tightness that began in my throat, moved to my upper chest, not midde chest, and into my jaws and ears. It lasted about 10 minutes total and then went completely away. Is this possibly an anxiety attack? I am 64, on no meds and have no health issues except for excema on my hands pretty badly.
