What Causes Cycles Of Heart Palpitations, Nausea, Vertigo And Dizziness?

I am a 39 year old female and have been experiencing strange symptoms over the past 5 years. I go through cycles that for months at a time where I get heart palpitations, nausea, indigestion, sweating, shaking, vertigo, dizziness. Sometimes while I m eating, after eating etc. I ve been to the ER twice with a fast heart rate. Everyone seems to want to say its anxiety and I need to understand what is causing this. I need help.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

I understand your concern.

I guess anxiety can produce same symptoms and even it cause episodic surge.
If routine investigation come normal and you do not have improvement after taking symptomatic drug then it will respond to anxiolytic medicines.

This kind of condition can be treated with SSRI mainly sertraline and paroxetine etc.

Do meditations and exercise.
Relaxation and deep breathing.
Proper sleep and diet.

If require then consult psychiatrist for further assistance.

Still have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
