Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum

Your above symptoms indicate presence of anxiety and panic attacks and you are already diagnosed by physician for same condition. It is usually associated with increase heart beat and palpitation. Normal stress test rule out presence of cardiac illness to some extent. PD/SD like abbreviation may be used by lab for some specific terms which may vary lab to lab.

These problem may occur due to following reasons:
-Psychological issues: need treatment from psychiatrist. Anti anxiety treatment will help you greatly.
-Biochemical and hormonal imbalance: need evaluation specially for thyroid gland.
-Vitamin deficiency

Till you take specialist consultation aerobic exercise, breathing exercise, healthy diet and yoga will help you. It is better to take consultation early as untreated case may lead to depression.

So, do not worry and seek psychiatrist help.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.

Regards,
