Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a possible cardiac arrhythmia. Anxiety cannot be excluded either.

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time
- blood electrolytes
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.

If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause underlying your complaints.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
