Hello
Thanks for your query.
The causes of your symptoms may be anxiety, ischemic heart disease, underlying valvular heart disease. I will suggest you to go for an ECG in all leads and echocardiographic examination to rule out heart disease first along with thyroid profile to rule out underlying thyroid diseases because many a times thyroid disorders can cause such problem. If the organic causes are ruled out then the functional disorder possibly generalised anxiety disorder should be considered and you have to consult a psychiatrist then.
Thank you.
