Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should first rule out heart diseases in your case.
Chest pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, left arm paid etc are characteristic symptoms of heart diseases.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test).
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
