Hello,
This is quite normal in thin and tall persons. Anyway, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate other possible causes that may lead to this clinical situation:
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- thyroid hormone levels for possible thyroid gland dysfunction
- complete blood count for anaemia
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
