Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values and consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for imbalance
- complete blood count for anemia.

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,
