Suggest Treatment For Headache And Heart Palpitations
I m a 26 yr old female, I was bulimic for almost 4 yrs but stopped 6 months ago I had already started getting heart palpitations before I stopped but since I stopped it has gotten worse along with palpitations I have breathing trouble where it feels hard to get air in also daily headaches and lightheadedness the lightheadedness is so bad I can t focus I feel out of it and I almost fall over at times I have had 3 ekgs, chest xrays, blood work, and thyroid checked all came back good I was told my heartbeat is a little fast but that was it. What could be causing this?

Hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
your symptoms of light headedness and palpitation appear to be related to anxiety as all your relevant investigations are within normal limits.
I would suggest you to start low dose beta blocker i.e. Propranolol along with anxiolytic alprazolam in consultation with your treating doctor.you will recover from symptoms within few weeks,
My best wishes
