Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
THE FIRST STEP IS TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST
A thorough history and physical examination is the first step -
ECG (Electrocardiogram / EKG) – Routine 12-lead – is part of clinical examination.
It needs to be DOCUMENTED / Standard ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, for a few seconds. It can detect the arrhythmia occurring during that time only. If the episode occurs randomly or precipitated by a specific activity like exercise, one needs Holter or event monitor.
ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.
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

Hi
Welcome to HCM
If you know so much about your problem then you should not be asking doctors. You are denying that its not anxiety but it is actually anxiety which you are not accepting. Go to a psychiatrist and discuss your condition with him. You are having panic attacks which will get more worse if you didn't treated it on time.
Thanks
Regards
