I would like to ask some more detail question about your symptoms. Do you have chest pain? More on left side or right side? Do you have history of hypertension? You need to consult your treating doctor. After clinical examination by your treating doctor he may advise ECG or blood investigation Doing exercises empty stomach with out internal energy can lead to such symptoms due to hypoglycaemia.
