Why Do I Have Heart Palpitations With Shivers?

I have felt like I've had a few heart palpitations...feeling shaky inside.. little or no appetite ...and a tiny bit of diarrhea. I am currently on a generic Keppra from where I had one seizure months ago....and on lisinopril 10 mg for blood pressure....I do not have actual chest pain. I'm trying to cipher if anxiety or something else

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.

What is the dose of levetiracetam that you are taking?

What is your body temperature? Do you have fevers?

I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, an abdominal ultrasound, a stool analysis and some blood lab tests:

-complete blood count
-PCR, sedimentation rate
-blood electrolytes
-kidney and liver function tests
-blood bacterial culture.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above mentioned issues.

Hope to have been helpful!

Best wishes!

Dr. Iliri
