Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders.
Anxiety seems to play an important role in all this clinical situation, as waking up imposes a high stress to the body.
Anyway, considering your age, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- a chest X-ray study and pulmonary function tests
- complete blood count, PCR and ESR for inflammation.
An exercise cardiac stress test would help exclude possible coronary artery disease, although your symptoms are not typical of such disorder.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
