It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a cardiologist. Wish you good health!

I wound not rule out pulmonary embolism and coronary heart disease even with a normal echocardiogram. I assume you have a chest X-ray done with normal findings. CT angiography and cardiac stress test should be the next steps by my opinion.
