What Causes Sudden Tightening Of The Chest?
Recently while driving through the mountains in Pennsylvania I felt a strong tightness in my chest. I was on HRT in the fall, but was taken off because of loss of eye sight in one eye...also had this tightening in my chest. Since then I have been fine...up until now. What do you think?

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
* Relates to decreased lung oxygenation at heights in mountains causing
sudden tightening of the chest , a normal physiological phenomenon
observed in majority of people without any underlying pathology.
Hope this helps you.
