Your symptoms could be related to a possible cardiac arrhythmia, related to chronic changes in go the myocardial tissues. For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, thyroid hormone levels and blood electrolytes).

What Causes Recurrent Atrial Fibrillation With Bilateral Thoracotomy?
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to a possible cardiac arrhythmia, related to chronic changes in go the myocardial tissues. For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, thyroid hormone levels and blood electrolytes). A beta blocker or calcium channel blocker would help reduce cardiac arrhythmia. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
