Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Anxiety cannot be excluded either. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with her doctor for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine her heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
