Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing an irregular heart beat for some time and a slight pain/heavy chest. The irregular heart beats lead to fluttering up to my throat which makes me cough. Is this something I should go and see about? I don't faint but feel cold easily and have no energy.
