Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to cardiac arrhythmia.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- blood electrolytes for any possible imbalances
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health.
