Brief Answer:
need to see the ECG and BP readings
Detailed Answer:
hi, thank you for the reply
from your answers a heart cause appears less likely. However, one can't be sure untill he sees the reports of ECG and BP recordings.
Your blood pressure readings and ECG readings will be vital in commenting about your cardiac status. Although your symptoms is less suggestive of one.
Severe anxiety or panic attack can have such symptoms, but you need to have a prior such episodes with normal cardiac investigations.
I Suggest you consult a physician and show him the investigations. Or if you could upload the readings here that will be of great help. You have a feature to upload the reports/images on the right side of this query page. You may want to utilize it.

Brief Answer:
Imp to know ECG
Detailed Answer:
hi, thanks for the reply.
Good to know that your chest cast is fine, however it's very difficult to comment about ones cardiac status without knowing about ECG. Besides your BP is normal but on a higher limit.
Metallic Taste in mouth is generally a side effect of few medications. Are you on any meds, such as lithium or any?
