<s>[INST] Hi there. i will try and explain everything without missing anything out. i feel my heart racing all the time and it misses a beat, i only have to go into the kitchen and it starts beating really fast, i often get out of breath easily. i also get pains in my right side and have started to get pain in the left side now and low in my belly. iv also been know to go all dizzy and fussy this can pass within 10 mins but twice it happend for 2hrs, i felt like i was going to die but that was about 4-5 mounth ago. my finger joint hurt quite alot in the day but mainly when i wake up in the morning. this has been going on for almost a year now, im quite scared to go to my doctors. [/INST] Hi, The symptoms you are having looks like VPC'S, which is extra beats originating from places other than the normal conducting system of the heart. I'll advise you to get an ECG and 24hr Holter monitoring done, after which only we can ascertain the diagnosis. This could also be some abnormal arrhythmia so kindly do those tests. I'll also advise you to get a 2D Echo done to rule out any possible cardiac related abnormality. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist </s>
