Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms don't seem to be cardiac related. Does this feeling change with breathing or body movements? This would be indicative of a muscle skeletal cause. Anxiety could also mimic this clinical scenario. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical exam, a chest X-ray study, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests : -complete blood count (possible anemia or infection)-PCR, sedimentation rate (possible inflammation)-kidney and liver function tests -blood electrolytes. If all the above-mentioned tests result normal, the main cause of your troubles would be just pure anxiety. In such case I would advise consulting with a specialist of the field, to help you manage your anxiety. Meanwhile, it is important to avoid caffeine and energy Chat Doctor. )Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes!
