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

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that most likely you are facing abnormal electrical conduction of the heart which needs proper evaluation to avoid life threatening events related to arrhythmic cardiac activity. Kindly get a basic cardiac evaluation an ECG, Echocardiography and a Holter ( ambulatory ECG ) for minimum 48 hours and personally consult a Cardiologist for physical evaluation.
