Usually While Looking Towards Right Noticed Dizziness & Pounding Of Heart

When I only look to the right I get dizzy and have a pounding (like i feel my heartbeat) in my head. Only when I turn to the right. It started yesterday. I am fine when I get up from lying down. I is only when I look to the right. Do I need to see a chiropractor and get adjusted or is something else possibly wrong ?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
I would recommend seeing a Neurologist or an Otolaryngologist (ENT specialist--Ear, Nose, and Throat), rather than a chiropractor. What you describe sounds possibly like vertigo, a condition that occurs due to an abnormal interaction between the body's balance system in the inner ear and the nerves that conduct those impulses to the brain. There are medications and certain exercises that can treat this condition--if that's what a workup and evaluation proves it is. There are several other possibilities as well, so the evaluation should begin soon with a history and physical exam by your physician, who may possibly want to check an MRI of the head and inner ear; a hearing test; or certain head, neck, or eye-moving maneuvers to try to confirm the diagnosis. Good luck.
