Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Cow foot contain a considerable amount of cholesterol.

For this reason, I would not recommend eating this type of food frequently (less than once in a week), because it may lead to high cholesterol levels.

A healthy diet (fresh fruits and vegetables, a lot of fibers, food reach in omega 3 fatty acids) and a lot of physical activity can help reduce naturally your cholesterol levels.

Regarding your irregular heartbeats, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia:
- a cardiac ultrasound
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance
- complete blood count for anemia.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
