Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since all your blood reports and ecg s are normal, no need to worry for heart diseases.
Stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms.
It is better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Newer anxiolytic drugs, propranolol and flunarizine combination at night time before going to sleep is very effective than Xanax.
Counselling sessions and anxiolytic drugs together work well really well to suppress symptoms.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
