Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that it is necessary to investigate for the possible causes underlying your troubles. That is why I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a resting ECG- a chest X-ray study-complete blood count for anemia-thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance. If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of all this clinical scenario. In such case, consulting with a specialist of this field would be the right step to follow. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
