Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic,
No,this symptoms could not be a due to heart attack.
One might experience symptoms of anxiety and panic and these symptoms can also mimic those of heart disease but you should not bother about heart attack.
Pain from the heart has a classical description like severe left sided chest pain radiating to left arm and left shoulder joint with restlessness,uneasiness and some times breathing difficulty.
However on few occasions we also have atypical presentations where the heart pain is referred to left side neck, jaw, left arm, left shoulder or over left upper back.
Therefore though it is unlikely that this pain could be from the heart, it is always advisable to rule out heart ischemic pain from tests. Hence I will advise you to see a doctor who after physical check up can order for EKG to rule out heart ischemia.
The term snowphilia is not existing in the medical field as far as i know but i understood your concern what you wanted to ask, whether it is due to feeling of cold to the chest what is causing your chest pain or discomfort of hands.
If you have a anxiety symptoms then you can take anxiolytic drugs by your physician's advise.
Hope you will understand now and won't bother much about heart attack.
Take care,
Thanks and Regards,
Dr.Sandipkabra

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for follow-up query.
Your normal ECG rules out the possibility of heart attack completely.
Now,some people might have mild chest pain because of gas trouble inside stomach or acute gastritis.
So,what rabeprazole with domperidone has been prescribed to you is a very good proton pump inhibitor antacids which blocks further acid secretion inside stomach and helps to relieve the symptoms.
You can also take digene liquid 2TSF twice daily to get relief from gastritis.
Other medications are,laveta(levocetrizine),nasivion(oxymetazoline) and etizest(etilopram) for treatment of anxiety and other symptommatic relief.
You must take bland diet initially for 5 to 7 days and to avoid high carbohydrates, high fats,spicy and oily foods which are actually a triggering factors for gastritis.
Consult your physician if the symptoms persists.
