I think I smoked a bad joint and now I’m having chest compression feelings ever sense and I think I can cause it through anxiety.. I’m not sure though but I’m sure I have a dull compression heavy feeling in the direct middle between my pecks under my collar bone. I haven’t smoked in days and I feel it ever so often
