You should see a cardiologist or a nephrologist. Normal EKG at rest does not rule out certain diseases which manifest with the symptoms you described.

Do these symptoms only occur when you get up& go outside but don't occur when you walk about indoors? If so, you may be dealing with a form of agoraphobia or fear of the outdoors with a panic type of reaction. If this doesn't pertains to you, a workup starts with outpatient heart monitoring, treadmill stress testing, urine studies to check for certain breakdown products of catecholamine hormones
