What Causes Fast Heart Beat Along With Dizziness While Playing?

When I was playing Basketball, about the 2nd quarter my heart started beating super hard and really fast, then I started getting dizzy and my hearing was muffled. Even after the game my heart still wasn t slowing down. I m thinking it might be a reaction to ibuprofen but idk. Help please?

Hi,welcome to Healthcare magic.
Thanks for posting your question on this forum.
I understand your query and concern.
You probably seem to have orthostatic hypotension.This can be due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.This condition needs review of your body electrolytes and a 24 hour holter monitoring.Maintain adequate hydration with 4 liters of water each day.Drugs like fludrocortisone will help to control your symptoms.I advise you to have a baseline ECG and 2 dimensional echo on the follow up to have a recent quick review of your cardiac functional reserve.
Consult an expert cardiologist for further expert management.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
