Question : Heart has been racing last couple of days, today experiencing muscle weakness and breaking out in sweat. Not sur if it is menopausal, anxiety (job ending on Friday) or maybe the flu. No fever, just clammy. I am trying to get a lot done but just don't have the energy. 59 yo, no known blood pressure issues or diabetes.

Thanks for any help you can give. I just want to feel normal again.
