Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder. For this reason, I recommend checking your thyroid hormone levels.
It is also important performing further tests to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia or seizures:
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring for cardiac arrhythmia
- a cardiac ultrasound
- an EEG.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
