Hi,

Get ECG done and if needed echocardiography can be done and other examinations like BP, pulse, saturation, it’s good once get to the ER to rule out severity. These tests can rule out if anything is severe, as you mentioned diabetes and hypertension so life style modifications and BMI control like things can be helpful I will also suggest you to, learn deep long breathing exercises in your case. Researches shows very good effects in cases of similar history like you plus do these tests and continue medication as prescribed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
