Question: I am feeling light headed and a little dizzy last few days. Also it feels like my heart beat may be a little irregular Should I see a doctor for blood work and heart check?
Brief Answer:
Yes, you should see a doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I have read your query with diligence.
You probably have a variation in your blood pressure that needs to be checked and recorded. Also, the heart beat may be getting irregular as you say.
In my view, you should see a doctor, preferably an internist/Cardiologist. Get your blood pressure checked, along with a routine electrocardiogram (ECG). A simple routine blood work can be done as well.
Further management could be planned accordingly based on the test reports.
Get well soon.
