    I am not a worrier at all and only go to the medical doctor if there is one thing certainly wrong with me, I am active and eat properly too

    What is your age? I have heard that you should definately take a stress test, which involves running on a tread mill while being monitored by doctors. I think it is not that expensive and they can catch heart problems by doing this. I think insurance pays for it. Good luck.
