I've been having this tightness on the right side of my chest, and when I press on that spot, it gives me some relief, but then it just starts back up again. It's leading to some pain near my left chest too. I've had my heart checked and all the tests are normal, so now I'm wondering if this could be a nerve or muscle issue. Could you suggest any tests I should look into?

So, I've been having this thing happening where when I lie down and close my eyes, I start feeling this pulsating sensation and a little dizziness, like a tightness in the back of my head. It comes and goes, especially when I'm breathing in and out. It usually goes away after a bit, but I'm not sure what's triggering it. Sometimes I don't feel it at all, but other times it'll happen while I'm just sitting too. Also, I have an anxiety disorder, and my heart rate usually stays between 80 to 90 bpm. Does this sound like something I should be worried about, or is it more linked to my anxiety?
