Solangor
A suffocating, heavy feeling in the chest caused by prolonged loneliness and isolation. The physical sensation where being alone feels not empty, but oppressive and hard to breathe, as if loneliness itself is sitting on your chest.
From Latin solus (alone) + angor (suffocation, anguish, tightness of the chest).
