Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to acid reflux or anxiety. Considering your young age, it is less likely that your symptoms are related to any cardiac disorders.

For this reason, I would recommend taking an antiacid and have some rest. If these complaints persist, I would recommend consulting with your family physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
-A resting ECG
- A chest x-ray study.
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation.
-Blood electrolytes.


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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
