Following advice

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

What you are experiencing may be stress and anxiety related. However all the needed cardiac test should be done before we conclude that your heart is fine and nothing is wrong with that (i.e. your symptoms are anxiety related).

If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- Blood work including thyroid hormones
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring
- Stress test

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
