Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello! Welcome on Ask a Doctor service!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to pulmonary embolism or cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- a chest X ray study and D Dimmer levels for pulmonary embolism
- blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalances

A chest angio CT scan may be needed in order to investigate for pulmonary embolism.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
