Suggest Remedy For Persistent Dizziness And Heart Palpitations

I ve been sick for 4 days with different types of symptoms: nausea, dizziness, head fog, difficulty concentration, headache (pressure behind my eyes), vertigo, sensitivity to light and sound, and rapid heart rate. I saw the health center at my college and they said it seems like some sort of virus, mixed with dehydration. Does that seem right? What s wrong with me?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, I don't think this is right diagnosis.
In my opinion, we should first rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) in your case. Arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supra ventricular tachycardia etc can cause palpitations, dizziness, headache etc.
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg).
You may need anti arrhythmia drug on the basis of these reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
But first rule out arrhythmia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
