Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You need further assessment and assistance...
You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender...which could influence the diagnosis and outcome...

You need to be investigated for Coronary Artery Disease and/or Episodic Hypertension...
HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary.

The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
