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.
