Hi,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that the flush in her ears does not seem to be related to any cardiac disorder. I would just recommenced checking thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia (considering her irregular heartbeat).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
