Brief Answer:
I suggest that you get an EKG!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I will suggest that you get an EKG to evaluate your heart beating activity and rhythm. What you described sounds like an arrhythmia and it would be nice for it to be investigated. Your primary doctor can order this test and get it interpreted and if there is need, you see a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I hope this guides and helps. Let me know what the findings tun out to be and how you are doing!
