I feel weakened at times. I feel it immediately upon an little bit of stress but also when not. My blood pressure is normal at 117/80. It feels like my heart is beating fast and skipping at times.

Hi
Cardiac status should be evaluated to identify the cause of palpitation and shortness of breath. Any chest pain or anemia should be ruled out.
Chest xray,Ecg ,Echo and complete blood count should be done for further evaluation.Your reproductive health status such as any perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms needs to be mentioned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
