Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should immediately go tomorrow hospital a rule out heart diseases. Your symptoms like sudden onset central chest pain, breathing difficulty, dizziness, fainting etc. are commonly seen with heart diseases like ischemic heart diseases (HD). So consult doctor and get done 1. ECG 2. 2d echo 3. Stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes uncontrolled, undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
