Hello,
There may be many reasons for these symptoms. That's good that your blood tests are normal.
Many drugs used for heart like beta blockers or water pills ( If you are using any) may cause it.
I would suggest you should take some multivitamins and vitamin d supplement for sometimes.
If that doesn't help, then you should see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
