What Causes Irregular Heart Beat, Feeling Of Off Balance And Headaches?

Rode one roller coaster (more like free fall) the ride went all the way up high in the sky and drop down very fast. I have irregular heart beat but doctors told me it not serious at all. Matter of fact, they said it’s common amongst young people. I still workout hard as a normal person when I am exercising. I do not feel dizzy (my vision is not blurring or the ceiling is not spinning). I sleep normal. My body feels weird (equilibrium feels off balance) and I have slight headache. This have been going on for five days. Should I worry? I have made a doctor appointment as well.

Hi,

Most probably these are ventricular premature complexes. These are ectopic or extra beats. These are usually benign and not life threatening. These are frequently associated with MVP, also caffeine, alcohol, thyroid problems may aggravate these. So before going ahead we need to confirm it. Since these are not frequent Ecg may be normal, so in that case you'll need 24 holter monitoring which can diagnose these. You should also get thyroid test done. You'll need beta blockers like Metoprolol to keep these under control.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
