What Can Cause Palpitations Along With Severe Headaches?

I've had several episodes of my heart beating fast and getting a headache. Yesterday the headache was severe, but went away after I laid down a while and took a Naproxin. Today I had another, and took my BP. It was 164/74 and my pulse was 105. Still have a bit of the headache, but feeling much better.

Hello,

After going through medical details provided by you.
I understand your concern and would like to tell you that long standing untreated hypertension or an episode of hypoglycaemia which might have caused you a headache and palpitations.

Its recommend for you to get few tests done to rule out the cause of palpitations , headache and high blood pressure.

Get the following tests done:
1. F/PPBS, HbA1C
2. ECG and Echocardiography
3. CBC

And consult a physician with reports for physical evaluation and further treatment.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician,
