Cardiologist,  's  Response
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You need more investigations for proper assessment and assistance
     HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) is done to analyse the betas and plan for further management…It may also detect silent (no symptom) ischemia.
     In borderline study - Stress ECHO or repeating TMT – Treadmill exercise ECG with thallium isotope – is necessary to evaluate ischemia (reduced blood flow / Coronary Artery Disease)
     Do NOT stop aldactone / check your electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium)

A cardiologist can assess and help further.      / Discuss with your doctor...

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
