Get Med-check: She should visit a medical doctor for further testing. A heart examination by the doctor and an EKG can check the heart rhythm. There is also a 24 hour monitoring device(Holter) which is often used to capture the heart irregularity. I would not delay her medical check up as there is risk of blood clots if she has a condition called Atrial Fibrillation which occurs in older(60-65 yrs)patients commo
