Brief Answer:
Check your pulse it will be irregular.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!

Based on the data you provided it seems to have problem with thyroid hormones and arrhythmias.

To find if your heart beats are irregular check your pulse it will be irregular. If you still aren't sure if it's irregular and you feel sick you can go to ER for an emergency evaluation.

Hope will be of help!
wish you health!
