Your symptoms could be related to a panic disorder. Anyway, I would recommend performing some tests before coming to this conclusion:
- An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to exclude cardiac arrhythmia
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- Complete blood count for anemia.
If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.
Hope you will find this answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
