Suggest cause for chest tightening
Patient: Saturday evening, I had a sudden tightening in my chest as if someone was squeezing my heart.  I became very warm and lightheaded and felt "out of it".  I had a nitro pill with me and took it and it seemed to relief the discomfort but left me feeling like I was kind of floating.
