Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that considering his symptoms, it is important to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia, which can lead to this clinical situation.
Other possible causes to consider would be: thyroid gland dysfunction, electrolyte imbalance, or chronic anemia. Anxiety may also mimic this clinical scenario.
For this reason, I recommend consulting with his doctor and performing some tests:
- a cardiac ultrasound
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia
- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for any possible imbalances.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
