Welcome to Health Care Magic
It is difficult to conclude from this description.
It is advisable to have yourself investigated - especially the heart.
You should see an Internist.
A thorough history and physical examination is the first step -
ECG (Electrocardiogram / EKG) – Routine 12-lead – is part of clinical examination.
HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) may be necessary to look for an arrhythmia...if a routine ECG does not show,
ECHOcardiogram is necessary to see the heart valves (muscle (Cardiomyopathy) and heart function (Ejection fraction, wall motion abnormality).
TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) is done to exclude Ischemia (reduced blood flow).
LABORATORY work-up is routine - like cardiac markers, blood counts, sugar, urea, electrolytes, and so on.
Your Internist shall suggest based on the situation.
If not conclusive, you may need a neurological examination
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
