Hi,
There are many explanations to your current symptoms, including:
- heart problems - conduct ECG, holter monitoring, cardiac echo
- lung problems - chest X-ray
- pancreatic/liver problems - abdominal ultrasound
- complete blood profile
- liver enzymes
If nothing will come up, then, it could be related to spondyloarthrosis for which should perform X-ray of spinal cord (chest level)
All the best!
