When Your Chest Goes Tight

Sort out what the tightness in your chest feels like and what you do next.

Purpose: Sort out what the tightness in your chest feels like and what you do next.

When to use: Use this after an episode where your chest was the loudest part.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Describe the tightness. Where exactly, and what does it do over a few minutes?
  2. What do you usually do when it starts?
  3. Which of those helped, and which one made you watch it harder?

Your chest has been checked or it has not. Either way, you can stop checking it yourself.
