In short, yes. Anxiety and panic attacks can manifest themselves however they choose. Tachycardiaphobia is common, but you are likely not breathing deeply, calmly and profoundly, and the intercostal muscles in between your ribs are a little fatigued.

The second you accept that this tightness is secondary to tension and inefficient breathing, and not something pathological, it will soothe. In the mean time, get ice, take cold baths/showers. They help resolve it quickly.

If the chest pain gets worse, consider medical attention.

I always had a fight chest going to bed over the years but after over stimulation and stress of two jobs something in my brain snapped and now I have a tight chest everyday. I never had Panic attacks but is it even normal to have that much consistent terror in my chest region?

My anxiety has evolved into panic and it's scaring me shitless
