I have been experiencing strange, hard-to-describe symptoms for the past two years, including recurring episodes of rapid heartbeats, heavy breathing, and strange sensations in my chest, which last about 15 to 30 seconds and occur every two to three weeks for 3 to 5 days. I have also noticed a strong, unique smell in my urine a few days before these episodes start. I have seen a doctor, but they have not been able to diagnose the issue. I am taking medications for anxiety and depression, and I am scheduled for an EEG. What could be causing these symptoms?
