Suggest Treatment For Migraine , Dizziness And Rapid Heart Rate
I have had a migraine headache and dizziness for 2 days and last night and today my heart rate goes from the 80 s to 122 and i can feel heart beat in head chest and legs. I have just come off of an abnormal menstrual cycle with extremely heavy blood flow. Could my rapid heart rate be related to the migraine or my hormones or my large amount of blood loss
Dear- thanks for using our service and will try to help you with my medical advise. First of all, heavy menstrual cycle will bring the hemoglobin down and that will cause a.nemia. When you have anemia, the heart tries to compensate and brings the heart rate up, which can be the cause of the increased rate . The headache and dizziness could be from the anemia too.Alterations in hormone can produce these symptoms too. It is advisable to have a complete blood work including hormones and electrocardiogram to evaluate your problem. I hope my advise has been helpful Dr.Sara
