Suggest Treatment For Heart Palpitations , Short Term Memory Loss And Dizziness

I'm 51, female - non smoker, occasional glass of wine.
I have been dizzy, unsteady balance, heart palpitations and short term memory loss with occasional loss for words. My head feels like it's swirling. This usually goes away after 15-20 min but it's been almost two days.
Thank you,

Hello dear user of HCM!
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us!

I understand your situation in which you are in, and i'm sorry for that.
Having palpitations, dizziness, unsteady balance, memory loss etc, make me think about heart or vascular diseases, like arrhythmia, heart failure, atherosclerosis, carotid arteries blockage and so on.

So to determine the real cause of these concerns additional tests and examinations are needed.

I would recommend you to go through following tests and examinations:

- complete blood count
-sugar and lipids in blood
- liver and kidney indicators
- electrolytes
- ECG
- Cardiac ultrasound
- Carotid arteries ultrasound
- Cardiologist consultation and other further examinations if he asks for.

I hope we will find the cause that gives you all these symptoms by these tests and then we will be able to adjust the proper treatment for you!

I hope you will be fine soon!
All the best for you!
DR ERIOL.
