What Causes Tiredness And Heart Palpitations?

I am 27, mother of three, 5 ft. 6in, and have been extremely healthy until two weeks ago, when I developed symptoms of extreme thirst, tiredness, some aches, going to the bathroom a lot, some heart flutters, and the feeling of flushness. I went to the doctor and received all normal prilimary blood work, blood sugar 88, blood pressure 115/70, and heart rate of 95. The doctor is sending me to a cardiologist....any ideas?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) because this can cause heart palpitations and other similar symptoms.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg.
2. 2d echo
3. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
If all these these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia or other other major heart diseases.
Sometimes uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out arrhythmia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
