Could be due to thyroid or cardiac problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Occasional episodes of chest pressure, dizziness and bouts of breathlessness in an individual that do not recur or cause severe problems can be due to normal variations of the body. Since you have a strong family history, the chances of having a cardiac problem are present.
In your case, if it was a single episode and has not recurred again, then there is no need to be worried. In case the symptoms are recurrent, the cause needs to be identified.
The cause of your symptoms could be due to :-
1. cardiac causes (Hypertension, arrhythmias)
2. lung related issues (exercise induced asthma, etc).
3. Hyperthyroidism
4. Anemia
Hence you would benefit by consulting your cardiologist and getting evaluated with a few tests.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
I don't have asthma to my knowledge. My primary Dr. gave me an inhaler to try just to see if it helped, I didn't notice any improvement with it.
I guess I just wanted reassured it was nothing significant to worry about.
Thanks,

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It is best to find out any cardiac cause after proper investigations. If the cardiac pathology is ruled out, then consulting an endocrinologist will help.
