After going through the details provided by you your symptoms looks like of cardiac ischemia.
Its advisable that you should consult a cardiologist personally as early possible. Till that time i would like to suggest you to take complete bed rest as if you exert your cardiac ischemia can worsen up. Also i would like to suggest you to keep sublingual sorbitrate with you so that if at any time if your condition worsen you can use it on time.
I wish you good health
