Hello,
The symptoms are due to stress and anxiety. I would advise my patients to relax and prescribe an anxiolytic drugs to for a week to easy her. Check for high blood pressure.
if the symptoms still persist than i would advice for an ECG and ECHO to rule out cardiac condition and advise consultation with a cardiologist.
