Hi.
Your symptoms do match that of a possible cardiac event, but to be quite honest I can only.confirm the same with an immediate EKG (ECG). So it would be in your best interest if you can visit a medical centre or a doctor for an EKG to confirm or rule out an ongoing cardiac event. The other option could be a gastric issue, which also presents in a similar manner at times.
Best wishes.
