Hello,

I would explain that anxiety may mimic this clinical situation.

Anyway, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude a possible thyroid gland dysfunction, blood electrolytes for possible imbalance and complete blood count for anemia.

If these metabolic disorders have been excluded, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
