Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,



I Would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety or a cervical column disorder.

For this reason, I recommend performing a cervical spine X ray study and some tests:

-A chest X ray study and pulmonary function tests to exclude a lung disorder

-A cardiac ultrasound to examine your cardiac function and structure. If these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
