HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Your symptoms are due to condition called Arrhythmias. It is a condition where the heart beats either fast and irregular ( as in your case ) or slow and hard.

There are certain causes for this condition . Common causes are :

1. Abnormalities in the heart.
2. Thyroid Disorders.
3. Abnormal levels of salts like Potassium , Calcium , Magnesium.

Some of these problems are mild while some are serious. So I advise you to get evaluated for these problems. For that you need to get the following tests done :

Treadmill Test, Serum TSH, FT3, FT4, Serum Potassium , Calcium and Magnesium.

Kindly revert back with the test reports.

Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
