Can the opening/closing of a Chakra result in physical discomfort?

Well i’m sorry you had to go through such a rough experience that sounds awful.
Can the opening/closing or cleansing of a chakra result in physical discomfort, or otherwise pain?

Absolutely. Any of the Chakras can manifest into illness, discomfort or pain. This is truly how illness is born, it all goes back to the energy. If someone has a block in the Root Chakra it can manifest as a bad immune system response which causes them to get sick all the time, where as someone with a block in the solar plexus can manifest as the stomach flu, a stomachache or even gallstones. Each Chakra is regulated by particular meridians of the body surrounding our organs, nervous system and endocrine system.
Especially with the heart chakra, you can experience tightness in the chest, a feeling of heavy dense energy and even chest pain, upper back pain or shoulder pain.
Everything is energy and when our chakras are going through a cleanse or have a blockage they can manifest into the physical to release and heal. This is why the chakras are so powerful because they are linked not just with our mind/thoughts but also with Kundalini Awakening as well. When the body is going through a cleanse it can also manifest into illness where it causes the energy to slowly heal and release.“Chest Symptoms – You may feel a tightness within the torso, chest flutters or even in some cases chest pain. These are all signs that the heart is releasing blocked energy flow by opening up more and more light. This is creating the space for the awakened merkabah. i find usually during heart shifts, the heart will do a teeter totter of going back and forth being open and closed, the chest will feel tight. It will promotes the solar plexus to lash out in anger, then when it opens there is a deep sadness, a releasing of emotion followed by bliss and euphoric joy when the opening is reached. The new levels of empathy arise and compassion comes in all sorts of form.” [updated ascension symptoms post 2014]I remember a few times during my own awakening i went to the ER because i was vibrating/tingling throughout my entire body while having a panic attack, thinking i was suffering an allergic reaction turns out i was just feeling the energy intensely.

You did the right thing though by going to get checked out because it’s hard to say it could actually be something serious but during kundalini awakening the unexplainable can happen. It’s good to be cautious either way.The Heart is all about forgiveness and self-love, how we view our relationships, how we view ourselves, compassion and empathy. In general the Heart Center is one of the most important chakras because it is the bridge connecting the lower and the higher chakras together, it awakens the merkaba that we all have within us.

There seems to be a heart chakra theme going on especially with this shift.

Hope you feel better!love and healing light <3
