What Causes Mild Dizziness, Numbness In Lips And Racing Heart?
I have mild dizziness, my lips are feeling a bit numb and my heart feels like it is racing. It feels like what a panic attack feels like but I am not panicy. This has been going on for about a week off and on. The question is: can I wait to go to my PC in the morning or shall I go to the ER?
