The answer

The causes of a constricted chest in this worldly life can be summarized as the fluctuating circumstances of life and a deficiency in a servant's relationship with their Lord due to sins and transgressions. It could also be a trial to elevate one's status. To overcome this, one should be optimistic and view life positively, review their relationship with Allah through repentance and seeking forgiveness, be patient in the face of calamities, frequently supplicate and recite prophetic adhkar, change their daily routine with permissible recreation, avoid places and books that incite worries, and shun loneliness and isolation.
