Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- a chest X ray study
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes
- thyroid hormone levels
- an ambulatory 24/48 hours ECG monitoring. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. I remain at your disposal for any further questions, whenever you need!

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