Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Likely to be Stress as you say – but it is better to see an Internist / get yourself examined ...
Appropriate treatment demands proper diagnosis – which often demands investigations
EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
