Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to tachycardia or possible cardiac arrhythmia.

For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count for anaemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia. A low dose of beta blockers could be needed.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
