Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are experiencing is more likely to be related to anxiety and stress and as a such you shouldn't worry about.
However cardiac echo, stress test and Holter monitoring are essential to definitely exclude any cardiac involvement.
If this three exams will be negative than you don't need to do other exams and should treat your anxiety.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
