Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it may be due to anxiety or panic attack.
Please let me know do you have numbness or tingling sensation in upper limbs or presently are you taking any medication?
As per my knowledge, at present there is no need of any active management. To rule out any other possibilities, I would suggest you to do thyroid profile and MRI neck after detailed medical examination and physician's opinion.
Along with that, Avoid hot and humid environment. Be stress free. Take balanced diet.
Let me know I can assist you further...
