Hi,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to cardiac arrhythmia. Anxiety can not be excluded either. Coming to this point, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
- A resting ECG
- Complete blood count
- Blood electrolytes
- Thyroid hormone levels
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
