: By your age, if you have the symptoms as described you probably have a systemic condition which affect cardiovascular system such as systemic sclerosis or SLE. The heart rate change can be detected with 72 hour Holter monitoring. You should seek a second opinion and request for a heart rhythm monitoring.
