Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am,

After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to inform you that the symptoms you are experiencing looks more likely to be noncardiac in origin.

But still to be 100% sure it's advisable that you should get an EKG done.
Yes, these kinds of symptoms can be felt due to hormonal changes also that usually occurs in female in this age group.

I hope this helps you clear your doubt. If you have any further doubts/queries feel free to ask me.

I wish you good health ma'am.
