Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As per my clinical experience, the issue is related to anxiety or underlying stress.
* I would recommend to feel more comfortable in a semi reclining position with a back support in chair in fresh air with deep breathing exercises.
* After 30 minutes of above , if the discomfort persists, get an EKG done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
