Recently, I've had diastolic BP readings of 100 , with normal systolic blood pressures (120 - 130); shortness of breath, dizziness and nausea after exercise or strenuous activity, trouble sleeping, slight weight gain (but not obese), swollen ankles, and fatigue. I'm female, 42, have allergic asthma, but inhalers and Singular don't seem to impact my recent symptoms. My father died of heart attack at 61, just days after normal EKG, stress test, blood work, etc., after complaints of chest pain and SOB. My daughter has congenital heart valve defect diagnosed at birth. I'm wondering if there is a family connection here...although I've really never had any "heart" symptoms.

I've always considered myself to be healthy...recently went to ER w/chest pain and difficulty breathing - dx - anxiety. I know I'm not having an anxiety attack because I've lived through much more stressful situations in my life and had no problems...I have no reason to be overly anxious at this point in my life...

What medical tests or evaluation should I seek or insist on at this point? What should I look out for? I've searched the internet, but most of the information is on high systolic blood pressure readings...

Any advice appreciated...
