Brief Answer:
Following advice.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and would like to suggest to do the following examinations:
- blood work including thyroid hormones
- cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring

This examinations will help to find out what is causing your symptoms. A normal ecg done when you are symptomless doesn't exclude arrhythmia.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
