Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,

In your age, especially if you have normal ECG, such symptoms usually are caused either by anxiety or panic attacks or just from irregular lifestyle.
If you could answer to all my questions in details, I could give you better answer.
Also it is very important if you stressed much

Take care

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,

Seems to be a panic attack. Nothing serious. Don't worry. Every time you have that pain, you should remember that it is not a dangerous pain and it can't cause any harm.
Try to regulate your lifestyle, do Yoga, exercise , eat healthy food, drink much water, be much in fresh air. Don't spend much time in front of TV, computer or in Internet.
If you follow all these advices, your complaints will disappear gradually.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you a good health
