What Causes Heart Palpitations And Dizziness?
My partner is in his 50s and is having problems with a racing heart/palpitations and dizziness. he has quite a stressfull job and has trouble sleeping. This occurs most days when hes doing simple tasks like putting on his boots, walking or even having a hot bath can cause it. It also occurs during sex and is having a big impact on our life. I am worried he could have a heart attack! I have tried to get him to go to the doctor for tests but he jst shrugs it off, please help

Hi,
It doesn't look like a heart attack instead a anxiety episodes. Still one ECG, hemoglobin and thyroid test should be done. Also he should get his BP checked once, have relaxation techniques like yoga, deep breathing exercises, physical exercises. Avoid smoking, alcohol if any. Till the time, you can get tab Ciplar LA prescribed from local doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
