What Causes Chest Coldness And Crackling Throat Sound?

Hey,I'm having a cold feeling in my left chest area on and off for the last couple of days. It's as if an icy hand was wrapped around my heart. This is accompanied by a appr. 120bpm.In addition to that theres a weird crackling in my throat when i touch it and theres a lot of what i take to be air bubbles beneath my left ribcage (when i touch it it sounds as if someone were chewing cereal next to me). I'm 22 years old. My blood turns out to be okay, electrocardiogramm, too. I'm really afraid this might be something bad.Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your blood reports and electrocardiogram are normal, no need to worry for major heart related diseases.
In my opinion, your all symptoms are stress and anxiety related. But we should first rule out lung related pathology. So get done chest x ray. If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for lung diseases and you symptoms are due to stress and anxiety only.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
