Why Am I Experiencing Palpitations At Base Of Throat Along With Heavy Feeling, Slight Dizziness, Weight Loss And Low Appetite?
Question: Lately have had palpitations at base of throat, heavy feeling there, bit of low pulse periodically and slight dizziness. Losing weight and low appetite too.
Brief Answer:
An echocardiogram needs to be done
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The blood vessels exiting from the heart directly pass at the base of the throat and the pulsations reflect the pressure within the atrial chambers of the heart. I would insist you to get an echocardiogram and to upload the reports thereafter, and I will guide you accordingly.
I would also insist you to get your thyroid function checked since it correlates with the body weight.
I would wait to hear back from you.
Regards
