I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

View allI'm experiencing some pinching and squeezing chest pains, and my heart rate seems to jump between 80 and 120 with some palpitations. The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons after I eat, but it also happens in the evenings, especially when I start thinking about stuff, even small thoughts make my heart rate go up but it does slow down after I get myself to calm down. I've done multiple ECGs, TM tests, and echoes, and they've all been normal so far. There is sinus tachycardia, though. I don't smoke or drink, but I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and worry. My cholesterol is at 240 and my blood pressure is around 13090. My sugar levels are almost normal and I weigh 70 kgs with a 5.5 height. I follow a light veg South rice diet and don't eat meat. What's causing this chest pain and geyser-like hot sensation? It's really unsettling and causing me some social anxiety. I'm not married and I don't really have much of a social life. What should I do?

I'm really worried because my father has an LVEF of 35% as per his 2D echo report. I'm trying to figure out what kind of treatment he might need. Should we be considering an angiography? He hasn't had a heart attack and doesn't feel any chest pain. I did some reading and think maybe it's arrhythmia because about three years ago, he nearly fainted while cycling due to stress. Since then, he's been on medication for hypertension. Could you tell me what steps we should take next?
Since the patients LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 35.. indicates that he is having severe heart damage .. Some of the causes uncontrolled hypertension , heart muscle diseasesex cardiomyopathy, heart attack and heart valve issues..Angiography is needed since echo report reveals severe heart dysfunction.Treatment invoves ACE inhibitors ,calcium channel blockers and beta blockers..
