Ok so right now i just got up from a weid thing that has happened to me 2 or 3 times.. I was sleepy, (ihave narcolepsy and cataplexy) so i went to the counch to rest for a little. I tried sleeping but then i felt my heartbeat increase in speed and then i couldnt barely move. I started to feel my lips go numb and i tried moving them. I knocked out and just woke up. What can this be? i feel fine now but i got really scared...

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

This can be arrhythmia like psvt or atrial fibrillation, where your heart rate suddenly goes up and bp falls. You will need evaluation like ecg, thyroid test and holter monitoring. You should also get one hemoglobin levels done. So visit nearby cardiologist for these investigation. Also, to abort such episodes you should try to cough hard.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
