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

I recommend you to visit a cardiologist and do an ECG and a cardiac sonography. The ECG is needed to see the cardiac rhythm and may also be needed a 24-48 hour ECG holter monitoring of a possible paroxismal atrial fibrilation . The cardiac sonograpy is needed to evaluate the heart chamber and to see if there is any change and to see if there is a new problem associated with jugular vein distension.

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