Anyone get tightness heaviness chest pains after exercising that leads into anxious full chest feeling. Hard to explain. I've been weaning off very very low dose beta blocker and was instructed to keep exercising which I have been but this feeling is so scary

Hi there, I'm actually getting similar symptoms as well. I have been getting aches in my back and arms lately, but sometimes when I try to exercise or do yoga, I will feel the tightness or heaviness in my chest, like you described. I think what happens a lot is I start to freak out even if I get the slightest ache or pain in my chest because I start to think about my heart. But I think what's really going on is the more we worry, the tighter our chest feels because we start to hyperventilate and that causes chest discomfort. It's best to just try and take a break if you feel anxious, and just try again later once you've calmed down.

I hope the pain and anxiousness goes away for you soon though!
