Suggest Treatment For Lightheadedness, Dizziness And Rapid Heart Beat
I have been experiencing, being lightheaded, dizzy, heart feels like it beats fast, and have tremors. It comes in waves. I have taken Xanax and other anti anxiety medicine but, nothing helps. I am a 41 year old.I runs at least 3 miles a day. Recently it s also been happening while working out.
Hi welcome to HCM. These symptoms largely point to low blood pressure or hypotension.I advise you to have a baseline ecg and 2 dimensional echo to rule out any organic heart disease contributing to hypotension.Hydrate yourself adequately with 3-4 liters of water/day.Reduce the walking distance to 1.5 miles/day.Drugs like midodrine and fludrocortisone will help to increase the blood pressure to normal limits.Consult your cardiologist for further help. Thank you.
