Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that your symptoms could be related to cardiac arrhythmia.

Gastro-esophagal reflux cannot be excluded either.

Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- a chest X-ray study
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
