Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a possible cardiac arrhythmia. Anxiety or a metabolic disorder cannot be excluded either.

For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG
- complete blood count for anaemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours may be needed in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
