Hi,

I understand your concern and would explain that it is important performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia. I would also recommend performing some blood lab tests:

- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Adding a beta-blocker to your therapy may be needed.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
