I have a frequent heart palpitations and while my heart is racing its hard for me to breath. Sometimes when I stand up I get dizzy. This has never happened before to me, just this past months and I remembered one night before I go to bed my chest (heart area) suddenly hurts, then after a few minutes its gone. May I ask what is my condition? Do i have any ailments?
Firstly please specify your age you're smoking habits your weightpalpitstions can be because of many causes .as your palpitation comes off and goes away an ECG should be taken out during that cycle if possible is not then at first go for these few investigationsHolter monitoring this test is like an ECG taken for 24\u00a0hours continuously ...it will record any abnormal beat during 24hoursa loop monitor if required (as you have not mentioned frequency of your palpitations)a loop monitor is like holder, but it records beats for 1\u00a0week TMT (treadmill test) it will serve dual purpose .it will record any lack of blood supply to the heart (sometimes you have pain in chest) and any abnormal beats arising during the house of doing it apart from this thyroid profile should be done!these symptoms can be because of heart burn gastritis and anxiety, so a detailed history is required dizziness on standing up is called orthostatic hypotension(please specify if you are on antihypertensive medication especially diuretic)how long does it last any history of fall or loss of consciousness as we have to rule out presyncope from orthostatic hypotensionthanks
