Stress For A Long Time. Now Fluttering In Chest And Dizzy. Medication On Lipitor. Is It Heart Problem?
I have experienced a fair bit of stress for the past 5 - 6 yrs, almost all my stressors are gone and now I have been experiencing lightheaded, dizzy and a flutterying in my chest with the occasional ache in the left side of my neck. These sensations last for about 4-6 hours then I'm fine. I am presently on Lipitor. Could it be my heart?

Have you take an ECG to confirm the normal functioning of your heart. If not consult your general physicn and request for it. Again he is the best judge of your case. Also meditation and yoga techniques will help you in relaxation. Wish you speedy recovery.
