Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.
Nevertheless, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests in order to exclude other possible causes:
- an exercise cardiac stress test
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
