Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir
After going through the medical details provided by you I understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that taking into consideration your age and the symptoms which you have mentioned points towards some type of abnormal rhythm that's happening intermittently.
It's advisable that you should get an EKG done preferably at the time when your heart is beating fast with the sense of illness. If that's not possible then go for a 24 to 48 hrs HOLTER MONITORING test.
Also I would like to suggest you to get these blood tests done.
1. Complete Blood Count
2. Thyroid function test
3. Serum electrolytes levels
Kindly get these tests done and personally consult a cardiologist for proper physical examination and evaluation to rule out any cardiac Arrythmias.
I hope this information will be helpful.
Kind regards
