Sleeplessness Due To Racing Heart, Uneasiness In Chest, Sweating In Palms. Any Ideas?

hi I have been suffering from strange condition since Oct 2012. I have not been to any doctor but now its kind of bugging me. First it started with sleeplessness due to heart racing (it only occurred for one night but it was sort of a trigger) I feel uneasiness in my upper part of chest both left & right Sometimes this feeling culminates in sweating in inside part of hands sometimes I get this feeling when I am climbing stairs I dont have a clue what it is

Well, for all you know this could be an anxiety problem. It would result in sweaty palms and uneasiness in chest too, which could be psychosomatic.
However, a baseline workup for angina should also be done. Metabolic condition, as in BMI, Lipid profile needs to be tested. Also it would be a good idea to get Stress Echo with TMT, ECG done. Angina would result in palpitations, sweating also.
Anaemia must also be ruled out. A healthy lifestyle is something which should be practiced as a preventive measure, for sure which means a low fat diet, exercise & relaxation techniques like Yoga.
