Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi my name is candis. Today I was helping my daughter get in the car when suddenly my heart started beating really fast I got really hot and felt dizzy after a couple of mins it stop and started to beat normal again. This happens to me a lot should I be worried.
Dear Sir Thanks for your query. The likelihood of a heart rhythm disturbance is high if the episode started suddenly and then stopped suddenly. I would request you to see a cardiologist. In the meantime, a baseline ECG and cardiac ultrasound should be done. If you have a recurrence of such episode, specially with fainting, or lightheadedness or blackout or breathlessness or chest pain, do visit emergency room. Sincerely Sukhvinder
