Ok, I've noticed for the last few months or so that if I get stressed or anything along those lines, my chest gets tight and I find it hard to catch my breath. Anyone know why?

    Stress can have some physical effects... Sometimes I'm shaking and the last couple of months I keep clearing my throat, and according to doctors both these are because of stress! But get it checked to be sure.

    When I get anxious my chest gets tight a lot. Think its just another symptom. Best cure is to not get stressed...

    It sounds like you're describing a panic attack. You should probably have a chat with your GP and see what he/she advises re stress and anxiety.

    Here's some info.
