Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a possible cardiac arrhythmia.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG Holter monitoring in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.

It is also advisable performing a cardiac ultrasound in order to examine your heart function and structure.

I would also recommend performing some blood lab tests in order to investigate for possible metabolic disorders which can trigger cardiac arrhythmia such as: complete blood count for anemia, blood electrolytes for possible electrolyte imbalance, thyroid hormone levels.

Hope you will find this answer helpful! If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me again at anytime!
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
