Cardiac tests: Your symptoms may or may not be heart related and can be due to anxiety. The heart tests you should have,in addition to the cardiologist examining your beart, include an EKG, echocardiogram, treadmill stress test,outpatient heart monitor with your keeping the times and types of symptoms. Thyroid and blood tests for anemia and iron deficiency would be helpful. Postural hypotension can be treated.

Don’t worry Be Happy: That means, take it easy, smile and relax. You will know soon enough. In the mean time, avoid stress, & physically challenging things. Personally, I would go to a hospital immediately today. But I just like to know today. That’s just me. If you have had Chest pain that hasn’t changed for last 13 years makes me more relaxed than if it just started.
