Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
It may be missed betas?
THE FIRST STEP IS TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST / A thorough history and physical examination is the first step - / EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
