Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to a heart attack.
Anyway, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test in order to exclude any possible cardiac issues.
I would also recommend checking thyroid hormone levels in order to investigate for possible thyroid gland dysfunction.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
