Are Dizziness And Heart Palpitations Related?
Hello! I am an 18 year old female about 5 6 and 125lbs. I have a history of fainting spells and was told that I have a tricuspid regurgitation when I was about 12 years old. They did several tests and examinations on my heart in addition to doing a breathing test which came back saying I have normal lung function. I have recently been experiencing bouts of dizziness and heart palpitations, which sometimes wake me up when I am sleeping. Are the two of these things related? Is it imperative that I get my heart checked out again?

Many a times tricuspid regurgitation is a normal phenomenon is normal ppl, now if you have the same symptoms everyday, you can get a 24 holter , or if a clinic is nearby than an EKG at the time of symptoms. This will see if any missed beats or other changes in rhythm occurs while you have the symptoms. If normal forget about it, if anything is noticed, than a simple treatment a according to the results of the holter reports will suffice
