Hello, Madam
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.
As per your husband's symptoms the possibility of cardiac conduction disturbances are high.
Hence it is important to screen for the same at the earliest to determine further course of action
For this I advise you to get the following tests to assess the therapeutic outcome.
Tests particularly 24 holter ecg and thyroid profile is mandatory in diagnosingcardiac conduction disturbances.
Also it's advisable to lower the intake of coffee and tea-
Advisable to maintain adequate hydration and sleep.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
