Wide term: Arrhythmia is not a specific diagnosis but it indicates any rhythm outside the norm. This could include even slightly increased or decreased heart rates (> 100 or < 60 beats per min) when inappropriate. Some arrhythmias can give rise to symptoms like yours. If there is an electrocardiogram (EKG) showing that arrhythmia then this would be very helpful to us and consider posting a picture.
