I"m a 72 year old woman in generally good health. Im on several meds for my heart:  amlodipe (5 mg), 81 mg aspirin, hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg), metoprolof (100 mg).About 18 months ago had a stent placed in my heart and am now off the specific meds for that operation. I am visiting OKlahoma at the present and for the last two weeks have had a tightness in my chest. Will not go away.
Hello, Tightness in the chest may be due to acid reflux or cardiac pain or infection of lung or bronchial asthma or anemia etc. Until the examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done ECG, chest X-ray, echocardiography and spirometry. Please consult your physician/Cardiologist they will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
