Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
I think a thyroid TSH level and a sonography of kidneys for pheochromocytoma or renal stenosis will be better to find exact cause of her symptoms.
These tests are for detecting hyperthyroidism and pheochromocytoma which are common causes of high non continous heart rate and sweating of palms.
Please do follow up with the reports to me.
