What Causes Heaviness On The Head With Involuntary Muscle Contractions And Increased Heart Rate?

hello, I am a 19 year old male and I am not overweight. I don t use tobacco or drink alcohol regularly. The past 3 months i have had this feeling that the right side of my head is heavier than the left side. some other bizarre symptoms i have been having on and off for about 3 months also are jitteryness/shaking, involuntary muscle movements, lose of coordination. I also have this sensation that my heart is beating very fast but it really is not. I feel shaky all the time even when i am fully hydrated and have plenty of rest. On a couple separate occasions i ve felt like i was going to have a seizure/heart attack or something in that nature. i am beginning to become very concerned about these symptoms and i hope it is nothing serious... looking forward to a reply, thank you.

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

since you have a worry about the seriousness of the symptoms you are facing I will advice you to meet up a neurologist and a cardiologist.

a brain scan and a heart scan will be helpful to come closer to the symptoms.

as you mentioned you have involuntary movements, loss of coordination,shaking / jerking feeling etc you should meet up the Neurologist and take his advice.

once the brain and heart scan comes normal you may come out of this depression of serious illness which is bothering you alot.

also discussing with the expert is never harmful, in fact it is more informative.

I will recommend to meet a neurologist and cardiologist and get yourself checked once atleast.

they say - prevention is better than cure.

so the earlier you act the earlier we can come closer to the issues.

with the grace of God I wish you a healthy and confident future
