Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to caffeine or alcohol intake.
Anxiety can also trigger this clinical scenario.
Anyway, I would recommend performing some tests to exclude other possible causes that may mimic this clinical scenario :
- a cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG
- an ambulatory 24 to 48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
In the meantime, I would recommend reducing coffee and wine intake.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,

Hello again!
You are right about gas, as it can trigger all this clinical situation, but caffeine intake too.
As you have no shortness of breath or lightheadedness during these episodes, there is nothing to worry about.
Anyway, I would recommend checking at least your thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude a possible thyroid gland dysfunction.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing good health,
