Cardiologist 's  Response
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.

Anxiety can mimic this clinical situation too.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring for possible arrhythmia
- blood electrolytes for any imbalances.

Regarding the heart murmur, I would explain that as your cardiac ultrasound is normal, there is nothing to worry about.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
