Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your doctor is right. Heart diseases are uncommon at your age of 30 years. But some heart diseases like arrhythmia, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOC) are seen at younger age. All these can cause episodic symptoms (similar to your case). Symptoms include heart palpitations, chest heaviness, pressure, breathlessness on exertion, giddiness, unconscious and fall etc. So get done ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ECG) to rule out these heart diseases. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
