Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Symptoms lasting more than 2 months dictates the need to see your doctor and undergo investigations.

For palpitation – HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – and so on will all be necessary for further assessment and assistance. You may even need Electro Physiological Studies (EPS), if there is no improvement. In the mean time, you should see your Internist for possible stepping up the dose of your beta-blocker.

For diarrhoea – start with stool examination. Abdominal CT and/ot Colonoscopy may be necessary.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
