Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

My opinion is that you should seek immediate medical evaluation especially if you have chest discomfort (pain), dyspnea or dizziness.

If you were my patient I would recommend to call emergency services immediately.

Hope this will be of help!
