Hello,
You are experiencing palpitations and flutters along with headaches since a week. Headaches and heart palpitations are common symptoms of several conditions, such as anxiety disorders, low blood pressure, and dehydration. Drinking caffeine or alcohol with meal may cause palpitations and headaches. Caffeine and
alcohol withdrawal also causes headache and palpitations.
People with
low blood sugar levels can experience
reactive hypoglycemia, spike in blood sugar levels after meals may cause headaches,
lightheadedness, confusion, etc. Consuming water and fluids will treat dehydration. Your symptoms can also be indicative of heart ailments like
Atrial flutter that may complicate to atrial fibrillation if left untreated.
Get treated thyroid problems, sleep apnea, control blood glucose level at all cost. If overweight, control weight. Get cardiac functions tests, lipid functions tests, stress tests, echo ECG, Holter, etc., done to detect developing cardiac problem so that treatment can be started at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
