What Causes Dizziness, Faster Heartbeat And Pressure In Chest?

Felt dizzy at work. Heart felt like it was beating out of my chest. Chest started to feel pressure and I had to control my breathing. It finally subsided but it felt like it took forever to go away. I'm 45 ...should I be overly concerned, what does this sound like and yes I smoke....thank you.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness, faster heartbeat and pressure in chest. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are probably due to cardiac problem like angina or heart failure . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay . Doctor may order ECG, TMT along with complete blood profile and checking vitals . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide nitrate , aspirin , betablockers , frusamide and sedatives . Doctor may also order angiography . For now stay calm , take proper rest and do not exert your body .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
