Many things: You are right, you want to rule out more concerning life threatening cardiac(heart) pathology but it's possible that anxiety, gastrointestinal, pulmonary(lung) or even plain dermatologic(skin) related issues could be driving your symptoms. You should make sure you feel like your doctor is exploring all possibilities.
