Patient: I have had high blood pressure in the past - I take no medication at all. I have a cough caused by a flutter in my throat, feels like my heart is fluttery, wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety, have some trouble swallowing at times and don t have much of an appetite. I also have vitilago Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  I would explain that your symptoms could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia. A metabolic disorder (thyroid gland dysfunction, chronic anemia, etc.) or a lung disorder can not be excluded either. Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests: -a  resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound- a chest  X ray study and pulmonary function tests- blood electrolytes- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.   Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
