What Could Be The Reason For Having An Intermittent Headache And Feeling Irregular Heart Beats?
I have an intermittent headache, on the left of my head above the ear, very painful, bit short lived, and feeling like my heart is beating irregularly, making me feel I must breath really deeply or it may stop or something. I have been feeling this way for 3days

If you feel irregular heart beat, i think an ecg is required to know the rhythum along with Echocardiography to see if heart is contracting well, and rule out any clot in the heart. Headache might be related to heart problem or vise versa. Your age, any other co-morbid conditions will be important to reach out a differential diagnosis. Tt could be some vascular problem like carotid stenosis. Lot of possibilities are there. Please visit a cardiologist or neurologist for primary health checkup and diagnosis.Do not delay
