Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

This can be arrhythmia like PSVT or atrial fibrillation, where your heart rate suddenly goes up and BP falls. You will need evaluation like ECG, thyroid test and holter monitoring. You should also get one hemoglobin levels done. So visit nearby cardiologist for these investigation.

Also, to abort such episodes you should try to cough hard. Is there any stress or anxiety associated? Till the time your evaluation is complete, you can ask your local doctor for tab Ciplar.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
