Hello, Your symptoms could be related to a possible cardiac arrhythmia, related to chronic changes in go the myocardial tissues. For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, thyroid hormone levels and blood electrolytes). A beta blocker or calcium channel blocker would help reduce cardiac arrhythmia. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
