Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The limited information provided is not sufficient enough to arrive at an appropriate conclusion...
You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender...which could influence the diagnosis and outcome...
The events need to be DOCUMENTED / THE FIRST STEP IS TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST
Several conditions need evaluation – Panic attacks / disorders of heart’s rate or rhythm / bursts of hormone excess as in Pheochromocytoma / and so on
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.
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
