Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a panic attack.
Nevertheless, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an abdominal ultrasound.
Some other tests (a resting ECG, an exercise cardiac stress test, blood electrolytes, complete blood count, PCR, ESR) may be needed.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
