Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
I would suggest you to get ECG to check if some thing is wrong with your heart. If doctor wants to do a 2D echo then you can also get it done. I hope everything will be normal but at least we will get some information . I hope you are not a smoker and if yes then it is better to quit it.
