Hello dear , hi
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
* This is most probably in relation with underlying anxiety or stress with
adrenergic drive .
* Nothing bothersome if
- controlled without any treatment
- can breathe , talk , eat , drink comfortably after the same
- not associated with chest pain , heaviness , perspiration , vertigo
Hope this clears your query .
Regards .
