Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description,we should rule out Pulmonary embolism and heart diseases.
You had PICC line. This can cause Pulmonary embolism. And your all symptoms are seen in Pulmonary embolism and heart diseases.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
2. CT Pulmonary Angiography to rule out Pulmonary embolism.
If all these reports are normal then no need to worry much for major diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, if you have.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
