What Could Cause Heaviness And Fluttering In Chest With Numbness And Spasms In Foot?

Had a spell a couple weeks ago got really dizzy and had heaviness in chest like trouble catching my breath. Been fine for most part til last night had hard time sleeping numbness and somewhat spasms in calf and foot. Sometimes get fluttering in chest during the day and some slight tightness. Not tired though can work fine with good energy.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having anxiety related symptoms mostly but need to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. If this is normal than we need to rule out anemia and thyroid diseases. As anemia and thyroid diseases can give similar symptoms. So get done CBC and S.TSH to rule out anemia and thyroid diseases. If both these are normal than you are having anxiety only.
So avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist for management of anxiety.
