Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety or a metabolic disorder. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- A resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound.
- An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.
- Blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
- Thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction.
- Complete blood count for anemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
