Anxiety or stress? Out of nowhere today, I was watching TV and I felt a sudden cold rush on the right side of my chest. It felt as though someone placed their freezing hand on the top of my right breast and pushed on it lightly. It felt really cold and then within those few seconds, I had a shortness of breat. It wad really off and I never felt that before. My heart started besting fast for a few seconds afterwards. Any ideas? |

These could be signs of mild anxiety and it could possibly be a temporary phase. Just think about the past few weeks or days and if you have been stressing about something or an issue. Even the whole process of Christmas and New Years can sometimes get us all stressed and anxious. There's no need to panic, eventually the anxiety will leave you. If you get the symptoms again, try to relax and take deep breaths or go out into the garden and breathe fresh air or even go to a park for a short stroll. It also helps to listen to some soothing music and do a bit of meditation. Meditation fights stress and relaxes the nerves and helps you to think clearly. It also helps you to be more resistant to stress and anxiety. Hope these tips help.

Have you ever experienced something like this in the past in regards to other stressors, particularly those in which you have traveled since that's what is coming up soon for you?
And though this could be related to anxiety or stress, I must wonder if it's perhaps a medical issue. Any type of tightness in the chest should often be cause for concern. This is especially the case if it has happened before.
Though I also won't rule out a supernatural/ghost cause, I suggest ruling out other possibilities first. I would also rule out that possibility if you've never experienced supernatural events in your home before.
So, yes, though this could be related to a number of different things, I highly suggest just talking with your doctor's office to rule out any medical causes. If nothing else, you can have more peace of mind if they rule out medical issues.
If this is due to stress and anxiety, then writing in a journal and talking about it with someone are things that can help.
Regardless of where this is coming from, I hope that you are able to overcome this soon. Take care.
