I think that this might be what you're talking about. It's not actually a condition, but a sign, called Levine's sign, in which the patient clenches their fist and holds it over their chest to indicate that their having a squeezing chest pain or pressure.

By the way, in medical terms, a 'sign' is something that the doctor observes but is not necessarily noticed by the patient herself, as opposed to a 'symptom', which is something that the patient reports.
