Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, we can not rule out heart diseases without reports.
Your all symptoms are commonly seen with heart diseases.
So better to first get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
You are also having stressful life. This can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Consult psychiatrist for counseling sessions.
Don't worry, you will be alright 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.
