Hello again

Detailed Answer:
Thanks to your response. It’s advisable that you should consult a cardiologist personally as few tests like ecg/ekg, echocardiogram and probably a blood test to rule out any myocardial injury.

These investigations are important because your symptoms could be of cardiac origin.
