Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I can understand that you are worried about the recent onset of your multiple symptoms. Since you have had 2 ECGs which were normal, it is unlikely that these symptoms are due to a serious heart problem.
However, aince your symptoms appear to be quite distressing to you, I would advise you to have a proper evaluation for the same. So, please report your problems to your doctor so that further evaluation and management can be planned.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar

Hi there ~
I am a psychiatrist and you need to consult a cardiologist. I hope this helps. Please also take a parent/guardian with you when you see a physician. I understand you need suggestions regarding treatment, hence taking a second opinion should not be a bad choice.
Take care and have a good day !
