About 8 weeks ago I started experiencing palpitations that caused me to feel dizzy and lightheaded. This was pretty unpleasant and I googled possible causes (should have just gone straight to the docs, I know).
Since then I have been pretty much consistently dizzy and lightheaded and I've had chest pain (central and left side) and a strange feeling of pressure pushing me down. I've had one episode where I was convinced I was having a heart attack and called an ambulance. They did an ECG, finger prick, blood pressure etc and all were fine.
Symptoms have persisted. I've been to urgent care and had another ECG, chest x-ray and bloods. All fine again. I've also had a 24 hour ECG, which came back fine, in spite of me feeling like I had a few palpitations in that time.
8 weeks on and I'm still consistently dizzy, have palpitations and have the pain and pressure. I'm wondering if this all could be attributed to anxiety, even though I don't feel anxious? Has anybody experienced this?

Could this all be anxiety related?
