Having Intermittent Hand Numbness. Took Topamax. Get Palpitations. Wgat Can Be Done?

A pulse at 48 , I am afraid deserves a careful evaluation. Fluctuations of the pulse, coupled with this clinical syndrome of numbness must be carefully evaluated. It s almost conclusive there should a rhythm problem with the heart which should be identified and treated on time. A cardiac ultrasound and a repeat Electrocardiographic analysis, coupled by a clinical evaluation by your cardiologist is compelling. Nodal tissue malfunction (Pacemaker, Artrioventricular Node and His) malfunction could generally present as such. Other cardiomyopathies could also present as such.
I strongly suggest you book an appointment with your cardiologist. Your family physician could ask for the electrocardiogramme and Cardiac ultrasound while waiting as you arrange to see the cardiologist.
Thanks and hope this helps. Kind regards as I wish you good health.
