Hi and thank you so much for trusting us with your health query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms. From all the information you have provided, I will suggest that you get your heart monitored over 24hours by wearing a holter monitor to capture these episodes and analyse. This is because an EKG might not pick this abnormality if it doesn't occur during the test. A cardiologist would be the best person to see in this case.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to for more information or clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
