General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
from the above symptoms you have mentioned i think you should get your heart checked up get an ecg done, and get a cardiologist review done.
there could also be other causes to the above symptoms,
1. panic attacks
2. overdose symptoms of caffeine intake as you took a big can of energy drink
3. anaemia
4. taken any drugs or alcohol concurrently causing symptoms to occur.
these causes need to be ruled out by doing investigations.
would suggest you visit a physician for further follow up and treatment accordingly.
get well soon. take care
