No. More likely she has tachycardia caused by anxiety and dehydration.
Edit: It should be noted that Aya had gone from walking outside in February cold, to entering a very warm subway car. The sudden shift in temperature caused her blood vessels to undilate, creating a normal drop in blood pressure. Her heart had to increase its beat rate, and because of her stress levels and irregular diet, it went beyond a normal rate.
Amazing paneling in this chapter. It seems like someone is ringing the doorbell at the end, either Mitsuki decided to come back after leaving or it's someone else but I couldn't imagine who'd be important here.
Awww you like silly Aya, your bae will never think low of you just because of that, she treasures you the most, I hope a great come back communication and baby time next chapter.
For the last SFX, it looks like a door bell, but it's maybe a phone notification, because we see her phone on the side of the bath, like a Chekhov gun. Also, there's a music note on top of it and we see notes in Aya's eyes.
I’m praying Mitsuki didn’t just go home after that… please tell me she’s staying to question her (I assume) girlfriend about what’s going on, if she’s okay, etc.

I dunno. I live somewhere where it gets to -35C, even -40C is not unheard of, every winter, and I've never heard of such a thing. And I go outside for a walk every freaking day.
I definitely get the mentality of wanting to deal with everything by yourself, I've been guilty of that way too many times in my own life in the past (^^) It's a very difficult thing to admit to weakness, especially if you're under the impression that you can't without losing face. This is where Mitsuki will come in IMO, she's quite perceptive in her own way, and I'm sure she's already picked up on a lot of the signs before actually seeing the self-harm Aya has been doing to herself.
If people in works of fiction talked like sane people, half the books, movies, TV shows, and gay-ass manga in the world wouldn't exist.
And we would all be better for it. These kinds of contrived "conflicts" always feels like low quality fanfiction where the author either don't know how to create compelling communicating characters or they are out of ideas.

What is contrived about this situation exactly? Someone feeling insecure and stressed doesn't discuss their insecurity and stress with loved ones. That feels not only incredibly common, but as evidenced by the first time Aya avoided Mitsuki, very in character.

The argument that open communication is "normal" in real life and the lack of it contrived in fiction often comes up, maybe because readers are so used to seeing both the exterior actions and interior motivations of fictional characters that the solutions to fictional conflicts seem to be so "obvious" and "straightforward"--"Just tell [MC] what's going on!"
Meanwhile, back in real life, the number one issue in couples and family counseling is--wait for it--"communication issues."
