Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Such things do happen and the experience may sound weird. Stress do wonders with human. Coupled with apprehension / anxiety they play havoc. Weird body symptoms due to stress or apprehension are called somatoform symptoms. If the symptoms prolong due to the anxiety and negative thinking of the patient, the patient feels as if the symptoms are actually there. No amount of medical intervention or tests or clinical advices fail to convince him. Then they become mental disorders and called somatoform disorder / hypochondriasis. You should forget the episode and never bring it back in your brain.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
