hello, just a query, i just had a very fast heart beat and made me dizzy, the best way i can describe it is my heart felt like it had a little pop and then came a really fast rush of a heart beat and made me feel dizzy, it only lasted 5 seconds or maybe less i was sitting down at the time, is this something i should be concernd about or not. thanks rob
Hi welcome to the Chat Doctor The rapid heart beats and dizziness should be of concern, and you are advised to rule out any cardiac cause if present like arrhythmia or ectopic beats . For that work up done as follows... -Auscultation -Tread mill -EKG -2D ECHO if needed Is no cardiac because present investigate with HE estimation to rule out anemia If still no cause identified than it can be believed as to be due to anxiety induced.... Take care Consult physician for examination with keeping all this in mind
