Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, you need to have serial EKG monitoring and if needed Holter monitoring for 24 hours can be placed to rule out any runs of arrhythmias.

Endocrine causes also need to be evaluated by having baseline Thyroid functions as well as sugar levels and if needed urinary catecholamines levels.

Serum electrolytes and renal functions should be monitored once too. Proper work up is recommended.

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

Take care

Regards,
