hello
welcome to health care magic
The cause of your symptoms could be due to some haemodynamic factor or anxiety.
Consult a general physician first and rule out any possibility of medical illness & get some initial investigations. If everything is normal, then "anxiety" is the answer and visit a psychiatrist.
Wish You Good Health
Thanks
