Hi,
Definitely, as your EKG, echocardiogram and nuclear stress test are all normal, the chances of your having a cardiac illness are minimal. Of course, your symptoms may be due to anxiety and/or depression. You are advised to consult a psychiatrist for your problems. Holter monitoring may be helpful in detecting heart flutters and skipped beats, in your case, if present.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
