Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are suggestive of heart disease (angina, Coronary artery disease - CAD, congestive heart failure - CHF).
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes anxiety and panic disorder can also cause similar symptoms.. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
