Suggest Treatment For Extreme Dizziness And Heart Palpitations
For 2 days I have awakened with strong spinning inside my head. I slowly sat up and stayed still for an hour. Once in a while throughout the day I could feel my heart beat in my chest only for a minute. Is this anything to be concerned about? I am 70 years old.
I can understand your concern regarding to your health.
Though there are less chances of cardiac problem at this age, you should go to consultation of physician for measurement of blood pressure and ECG to rule out the reason. I am sure that there will not be any cardiac problem.
Feeling of spinning inside the body can occur due to many reasons like lack of sleep, over-stress (mentally/physically). So take proper sleep and do not take any type of stress. Start maximum liquid intake during the day time. Avoid fasting, spicy and fried food. Take proper and healthy diet.
I hope this information will help to resolve your query.
Wish you good health. Take Care, Thank You.
