If the emergency room looks and nothing is wrong with my ekg or ct scan and the only thing they find after that and taking urine culture and blood test and still feel the same what's wrong
Brief Answer:
There is a difference between ECG and ambulatory ECG.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.
UTI is unlikely to be a cause of the symptoms.As palpitations are associated with dizziness events, Holter or ambulatory ECG(instead of just plain ECG),thyroid function tests and hemogram should be done.If these tests are not done,please get them done.

I suggest you to start doing mental relaxation exercises on a regular basis like meditation.This should improve your symptoms.This may be related to psychogenic or anxiety and probably not related to a primary eye defect.

Brief Answer:
Anxiety/cardiac rhythm disturbance
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.
This episode either goes for an anxiety attack or a cardiac rhythm disturbance.ECG should be checked for during such an episode,if possible.That's the reason for which I was asking for Holter monitoring.
If you have further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
