THis could be more of anxiety!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what you experienced. I have reviewed your information fully and this is suggestive of a possible anxiety attack. This often happens when there is any disturbing thought or situation.

For now, there is nothing to be afraid of. Monitor only and should this happen again, I will recommend that you seek health only at that time. I hope this calms your fears and reassures you.I will also discourage taking aspirin as this can cause serious stomach problems.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
