I've been noticing that every time I use my cellphone, I start to get this strange chest pain. It's like my phone is somehow affecting my lungs, and then I have trouble breathing and my mouth feels really dry. I also think it's affecting the blood flow to my brain because I've been having these major memory issues and my mind just feels foggy. It's been happening for almost two years and seems to be getting worse. I'm really worried about my cognitive decline, like I can't remember things or visualize clearly. Is there something wrong with me specifically or has anyone else experienced this too? And is there any way to medically deal with it? I do notice that the chest pain eases up when I stay away from my phone.
Psychiatric opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm 30 and my leg has been pulsing since last night. I've also been dealing with neck pain. It's really starting to worry me. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you're experiencing some discomfort, but a pulsing sensation in the leg combined with neck pain could be due to muscle tension or nerve irritation. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like blood flow problems or nerve compression.
