The description sounds like Anxiety... A thorough history and physical examination is the first step - ECG (Electrocardiogram / EKG) – Routine 12-lead – is part of clinical examination. HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) is done to analyse and plan for further management, if a routine ECG does not show. ECHOcardiogram is necessary to see the heart valves (Mitral Valve Prolapse) / heart muscle (Cardiomyopathy) and heart function (Ejection fraction, wall motion abnormality) / clots... TMT – Treadmill exercise ECG; may be with thallium isotope – is necessary to evaluate ischemia (reduced blood flow / Coronary Artery Disease) LABORATORY work-up – may also be necessary
Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
