I recommend you request an ECG to check your heart. Simultaneously, your doctor can draw up some standard blood work. These initial tests can lead to others and help diagnose the condition. If everything is OK, however, you can consult a psychiatrist or mental health professional for an expert opinion in psycho-somatic illness. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your weight with regular exercise and a healthy diet full of plenty organic fruits and vegetables.
