What Causes Pounding Heart Beats Along With Dizziness And Shortness Of Breath?

Any time I exert myself, my heart beats very hard, pounds against my chest. I get dizzy, shortness of breathe, temporary loss of hearing. I have a current blood pressure of 142/88, I recently had an echo cardiograph that came back okay, ekg that came back okay and blood tests that came back perfect. What could be the problem?
