Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, we should first rule out cardiac diseases in your case.
So better to consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg and 2d echo.
If all these are normal than no need to worry for cardiac diseases.
Stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions, try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First rule out cardiac diseases.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
