Hello
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I can help you.

Unfortunately, there is no simple response to your query.
The symptoms as mentioned by you in the query could be either due to a cardiac cause, or due to a neural cause or could simply be the burden and strain of the season.
In such a situation, it is difficult to tell you the exact cause.
You will need to get further tests done- Echocadiography, CV Doppler, EEG, blood counts and electrolytes are the tests that I would suggest to a patient I would have had a chance to examine.
I recommend the same to you.
I may be able to help you further if you inform me the reports.
Meanwhile watch your fluid and electrolyte intake.
Often, that itself may lead to your symptoms.

I have tried my best to make it as simple as possible.
Please feel free to contact us for more information.
Best of luck,
Dr Mittal
