They would normally perform an ECG first and take blood tests for things like thyroid function and electrolyte levels in the blood. If they still feel concerned then perhaps a stress test will be organised. Diet is very important, to ensure we eat the right elements for a healthy heart. Dark greens and fruit are good for this. What is the medicine?
