The fact that all your tests have been negative for significant heart disease is significant and reassuring. If you had the same symptoms while on the Holter, I would say that your symptoms are are not due to a cardiac arrhythmia. I do not know what is meant by "hormone imbalance" but your symptoms could certainly be due to stress/panic. Please follow up with your doctor for continued observation.
