What's Causing String Hot Flashes In Chest,irregular Heartbeat & Sleepiness Upon Turning Chest/neck?
hot flashes very strong in chest. irregular heartbeat which can make me feel like I could fall right asleep. The sleepiness happens from turning, moving neck/chest. I noticed heart concerns when I was taking I by the depo shot birth control even had chest pains. I am off it now. 28 mom of 3 boys, no meds
What you are experiencing may be due to carotid sinushypersensitivity that cause vagal nerve stimulation with bradicardia, presyncope and even syncope.
I recommend to avoid sharp moving of the head and consult a cardiologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. For this i suggest to run: ECHO Holter monitoring Carotid ultrasound
Hope it was of help! Dr. Benard
