What Causes Heart Rate Attacks With Weird Sensation In Chest And Head?
hi i about a month ago tool a detox tablet. i ordered it online and immediatly went to the hospital with heart rcing and high blood pressure. docs told me it was an over dose. now theyve put me on this 40mg heart blocker tablet which made me feel like i couldnt breath. now i have to halve the tablet. i keep getting random heart rate attcks with this weird sensation in my chest and head. im starting to get lots of pain in my chest. all bloods nowmal. x-ray normal. ultrasound normal. (fcheckd for gall stones and my appendix what could still be triggering this? when i was little i was born with a murmur and hole in my heart but docs said back then it was fine no re tetsts.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring for possible arrhythmia
- blood electrolytes for any imbalances.
Regarding the heart murmur, I would explain that as your cardiac ultrasound is normal, there is nothing to worry about.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I would explain that your symptoms could be related to cardiac arrhythmia. Anxiety can mimic this clinical situation too. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests: - thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction - an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring for possible arrhythmia - blood electrolytes for any imbalances. Regarding the heart murmur, I would explain that as your cardiac ultrasound is normal, there is nothing to worry about. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health, Dr. Iliri
