Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

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

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolyte for possible imbalances
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be needed to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.

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