I would also agree to go get checked out by your doctor.  Anxiety can cause us to hyper focus into what we think our problem areas may be in my experience.  For example, when I was concerned with heart health, I felt every little palpatation, pain, twinge, etc.  Have you had health anxiety issues in the past?  I know panic and anxiety can take many different forms....keep us posted!

It's best to get this checked out, and never assume anything new is related to your anxiety.  It may be nothing, but you need to know, not only for your health but for your peace of mind. Take care!
