Hi Your description suggestive of cardiac arrhythmia. You need work up Initial investigation will be a 12 lead ECG vwith a rhythm strip. Sometimes you may need further work up depending on the ECG report and clinical examination and history. So, consult your physician.
But remember, all arrhythmias are not dangerous and many are quite normal without need for treatment and most others are readily amenable for treatment. So no need to worry
Than you
