I feel a heaviness in my upper chest, shortness of breath, an irregular heartbeat, and phlegm in my throat that won't come up. My sinuses feel clogged, and I've been taking Mucinex for 4 days without improvement. I have no cough or fever. My family medical history includes high blood pressure and stroke. I'm 45 years old, don't smoke, and don't know my cholesterol level. The chest pain doesn't radiate, and I feel scared and panic that I might die when the pain comes on.

I have been experiencing short, tight chest pains in the right center of my chest that come and go randomly, along with tightness in my chest over the last several weeks. The pains have moved to different areas and are not associated with breathing or exertion. I've also had short stabbing headaches and an urge to yawn repeatedly. I've had an EKG, chest X-ray, and a CT scan on my head and neck, all of which came back clear. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
