Dear Sir
1. To ascertain work-up as well as further management we must know the exact rhythm of heart responsible for this variable heart rate. Many a times there are simple pre-mature contractions responsible for same and are benign.
2. The initial work-up which has been suggested is correct. We need to get an ECG and a cardiologist consultation. ECHO may be done only if he thinks it is required.
3. If you ever had a blackout, loss of consciousness or unexplained fall, it is important to see cardiologist on priority. As this may suggest important heart rhythm disorder.
4. Your weight should be as per your height. A body mass index of <25 is desirable. Body mass index is calculated by dividing weight in Kg by square of height in meters. Hope this helps. Feel free to discuss further.
