Brief Answer: Causes to being lightheaded&heart palpitations. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX, Thank you for sharing your concern with XXXXXXX There are many conditions causing light headness with tremor and heart palpitations including: - cardiac - hypoglycemia (oscillations in blood sugar) - oscillations in blood pressure - being stressed out/panic attack. I'd suggest to run some cardiac tests: - EKG - cardiac echo - holter monitoring - measure the blood pressure and record the results - measure blood sugar at the moment of lightheaded and record the results Depending on the results of the tests, the most appropriate treatment would be prescribed. All the best! Dr.Benard Feel free to ask me other questions you might have!

Brief Answer: Nothing worrisome... Detailed Answer: Hi back, Thank you for following up. I have seen your EKG report and I have noticed minimal aortal and tricuspidal regurgitation which are not worrisome. At this point, you need only a regular follow up with cardiologist and EKG. I also suggest a further evaluation with neurologist in order to decide for ct-scan of your brain. If, after the neurological evaluation,the neurologist would advise ct-scan; you should do it. Otherwise, nothing worrisome regarding your heart. All the best! Dr.Benard
