Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

First of all I want to tell you that you don't have any cardiac issue as all your basic diagnostic tests were normal.

Feeling dizzy with headache fast heart rate and breathing difficulties are very well known symptoms of ANXIETY or PANIC DISORDER. Dear it was a mistake that you stopped taking your meds abruptly due to that your symptoms have flared up back.

Now what you need to do is to personally consult your psychiatrist and start the medicines again as advised by him as early possible.

Also start practicing MEDITATION yoga for mental relaxation.

I hope this information will be helpful and will guide you properly.

Kind regards

Brief Answer:
Hello Again

Detailed Answer:
As such there are no significant side effects associated with these if you continue to take the medicines as advised by your treating doctor.

Mild headache with nausea and constipation can be experienced sometimes.

At the age of 30 with no risk factor there is no need to get these tests done yearly. You can get them done every 2 years.

Apart from yoga and meditation if you still feel stress and anxious then you can talk with your psychiatrist regarding this and he will guide you for any anxiety reducing techniques.

I hope this information will answer your query. If you have any more doubts you can ask me back or else you can close the discussion and kindly rate the answer.

Kind regards
