thanks for the query
well given your history and the symptoms it would be wise for you to get yourself evaluated by your doctor and not neglect it. get an ecg and echocardiogram and get yourself evaluated by a cardiologist and if you are healthy there is no doubt in your mind regarding that .
take care.
