<bot>: 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 anemia- 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 Chat Doctor.
