Nevertheless, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests in order to exclude other possible causes:  - an exercise cardiac stress test - complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation - blood electrolytes for possible imbalance - thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka,  Cardiologist
