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.
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
