I've been experiencing some weird sensations when I wake up early in the morning. It feels like something is fluttering in my chest or heart, and I get really uneasy with mild breathlessness and sometimes feel light-headed. My pulse seems to stay between 60 to 80, and my oxygen level is usually at 99, but I find myself swallowing suddenly and taking deep breaths without realizing it. My blood pressure was 9762 the first time I checked and 10869 the second time, with a pulse of 73. I had an ECG, 2D echo, and troponin tests done about a month ago, and they were all normal. I dont have any thyroid issues, and my lipid profile and haemogram were also normal. Even my chest X-ray from a month ago didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Now and then, I have a mild cough, and my lips get really dry when I wake up. I even heard a mild wheezing sound when I laughed. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing these sensations?

I've been having this mild chest pain for the last couple of weeks and it's been pretty constant. I'm really not sure what activities I should be doing or avoiding right now. Could you give me some advice on what I can do to help with this or maybe some things to watch out for?

Question

I'm trying to understand the best way to evaluate my heart health. If I get TMT and 2D echo tests done, will that give me a full picture of how my heart's working, or should I also include a lipid profile and a hemogram too?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing tightness in the middle of my chest and breathlessness for quite a long time, almost 8 to 9 months now. I got a chest X-ray and my lungs were clear, but I'm still having these issues. On top of that, my hands tend to get really cold. Could there be something else going on that I should be concerned about?
