I've been getting back into my fitness routine and trying to run as often as I can. I'm generally healthy but due to the pandemic, my workouts have been less consistent. I've stopped consuming caffeine and energy drinks, which has helped with anxiety. However, I recently experienced a panic attack during a run in hot weather, after running on an empty stomach and with insufficient hydration. I'm worried this might indicate a heart defect or that it's unsafe for me to continue running. Could my occasional smoking have caused blockages? Is my panic attack due to the hot weather, or does it suggest a heart defect? Am I safe to continue my training?

For the past 4 days, I've had stomach ache/strain and pain at my sternum that moves to my back, along with feeling like I'm breathing from the lower part of my throat. Today, those symptoms have subsided but I feel a little nauseous. I'm a 37-year-old male on Zoloft for anxiety and seasonal allergies. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

I keep having a sensation of a heartbeat in my throat and my ECGs show premature beats. I'm worried and have had heart monitor, CT with dye, and an echo of my heart, all of which showed nothing wrong. I've been experiencing this constantly for 3 days. Should I be concerned, and is it possible that something was missed in my tests?
