Please see a doctor: Is this problem transient, or is it persistent? This workup will start with a bunch of blood work, ekg, and other tests as directed by the physical exam and history. Simply put, there are numerous possible causes and only a doctor should evaluate this and figure out what is causing these symptoms. If this is constant, then you need to be seen soon. If it is intermittent, make appt with ur dr.

Fear most likely; ;: Other possibilities. Fear response (subconscious, not necessarily any conscious recognition/conscious denial), expressed into body, is classic for such responses ; sensations. This could also be compounded by marked electrolyte abnormalities [usually easily detected with a complete (actually not very complete) metabolic panel blood test], heart arrhythmias, etc. ; each of these could be related.
