Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear for me it seems panic attacks which may cause episodic palpitations, squeezing pain, tightness in chest/throat. other possibilities like gastroesophageal reflex or cardiac problems,episodic asthma etc.. please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
