Hello,
Based on your description, the episode sounds much more consistent with a panic/anxiety attack rather than a heart problem. Symptoms such as sudden light-headedness, feelings of losing control, mild chest discomfort, hot flushes, sweating, fatigue, and fear, especially in the background of long-term stress, hormonal changes after D&C, oral pills, and health anxiety, are very commonly seen in panic attacks.
Allergies, sinus congestion, and acidity can further mimic chest discomfort, which makes panic feel even more frightening.
At 37 years, without known heart disease, and with symptoms occurring at night and settling on their own, a cardiac cause is less likely- but your fear itself is understandable.
Next Steps
• Consult a psychiatrist or physician to address panic symptoms, anxiety, and low mood
• Work on stress reduction, sleep regularity, and breathing exercises
• Continue follow-up with your gynecologist regarding hormonal medication effects
