Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi my question is what could cause my heart to race, to the point that i hear it in my ears, it is thumping so fast and so hard it makes my chest hurt, but it seems to only happen when I get hot like if it is hot enough to make me sweat, I am on seizure medication topamax 100mg 2 times a day.
I don't think that Topamax affects your heart rate, but I suggest you do a 24h ECG Holter monitoring to see clearly what your rhythm is and if there is a real problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Anila Skenderi, General & Family Physician
