What Causes Mild Headaches With Heart Resting Rate At 112?
Hello,
I've Been getting mild headaches often and a fast resting heart rate of about 112. Sometimes while I am laying down I feel out of breath and have to catch it. I also been experiencing slight dizziness, bad facial acne, sharp abdominal pain ( it comes and goes) and have itchy red raised bumps on arms, legs, back, and buttocks. My blood pressure and temp is in normal range but have a lot of concerns with all these signs and symptoms. what could it possibly be?

Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to chronic inflammation or a chronic infection. An allergic reaction can not be excluded either, considering the red raised bumps on the arms, legs and back.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes:
- a resting ECG
- a chest X ray study and pulmonary function tests
- complete blood count
- PCR, ESR for inflammation
- kidney and liver function tests
- blood electrolytes
- an abdominal ultrasound
- a stool bacterial culture
- a urine analysis.
Further tests may be needed if the above tests are suggestive for a chronic infection.
Consulting with a dermatologist may be needed to investigate for the nature of the red bumps.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
