thank you.are you suffering from any anxiety.is it intermittent or continuous? you have mentioned that your ECG is normal but that time you had not problem.you need continuous ECG monitoring(like holter monitoring) to detect any cardiac electrical abnormality.at that moment,you can take propranolol 40 mg daily.
