What Causes Pulsating Headaches, Nausea And Heart Palpitation?

For the past two days I have had a pulsing headache on the left side of my head behind my eye a feeling of nausea, confusion and heart palpitations. I also feel like my body is over heating and I break out in a sweat. After taking Excedrin, I felt a little better. BTW, I am 30 years old.

Hello,

Brief answer: Tension headache is a provisional diagnosis.

Explanation: My opinion is that your symptoms headache, low grade fever, and nausea would fit better a tension headache relieved by Excedrin. About heart palpitation that is a false feeling as Excedrin as a side effect would not help with that even worsen it. Also, a common cold is common and fits with your symptoms.

I suggest my patients the following simple analgesia like Paracetamol or some OTC medication like Excedrin, good hydration, and rest.

Conclusion: I suggest you continue your medication and if you sense any palpitation more frequently please check with your GP doctor.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
