Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a neurological disorder (Huntington Corea, etc.).

Coming to this point, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and a brain MRI study.

Regarding the palpitations that you are experiencing, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia and some blood lab tests (thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes).

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
