Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mother quit smoking about 6 months ago, but recently picked up cigars! yea, tell me about it. Anyway, she has been experiencing a lot of fatique and occassional rapid heart beat. She said it scares her because her heat beat is so "HARD" she hears it in her ears and feels it pounding in her chest. What could this be from? niccotine, or something possibly more sever like a heart condition?
