What Causes Fast Heart Beat And Headaches?
Hi my name is Mariana and Im 16 years old and I live in Brasil, Furuncule is very comon here unlike the usa and i got one of those on the inside of my nose, and im treating it with semi-hot water and alot of stuff came out of it already and im always cleaning it with antibacterial soap and everything and its almost cured. But im freaked out because my heart is beating so fast and I dont know if its anxiety or anything like that but my chest feels like its on fire and its not something that goes away in 5 minutes, its something that goes away if i take pain pills and my head is constantle hurting also and my neck has a little bump that my aunt (who is not a doctor) said its something from my organism that is combating the bacteria I need help what should I do? what is this? its very unconfortable and i cant sleep because i keep thinking about this issue , I had to take sleeping pills last night because i had insomnia 2 nights in a row and no im not pregnant lol , thank you for your time

Hi,
First of all, there are several causes for headache and fast heart beat such as iron deficiency anemia, hypertension. You should do some investigations such as CBC and measuring blood pressure. The measurement of blood pressure should be in three separate sessions in three days under complete physical and mental rest. Second, you should measure fasting blood glucose and if you take oral contraceptive pills, you should ask a gynecologist to adjust the dose, because the pills can cause headache.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
