Hello,

In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases first. So get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both of these are normal, then no need to worry about heart diseases.

Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So, avoid stress and tension, be calm and relax. Consult a psychiatrist and get done the counseling sessions.

Try to identify the stressor in your life, and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Do not worry, you will be alright, with all these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
