Common Questions and Answers about Fainting spells heart palpitations
fainting
Just before I found out what it was, I already resigned from my work because of lightheadedness and fainting spells. Now, I am only staying at home and I rarely feel that way. I'm only experiencing awareness of heartbeat and palpitations. But sometimes I can't even sleep alone because I have a feeling that I will faint. When I go out, I need to have someone beside me because I always feel that something will happen. And I am also overly sensitive to noise and light.
It doesn't sound like garden variety palpitations to me. The combo of the faint, the heart rate of 39 bpm, and the spells of some kind of odd heartbeat would personally cause me to drag hubby to a cardiologist for a workup. He needs a basic EKG, and since these spells come on unpredictably, you should maybe discuss wearing a Holter monitor for a longer period to see if it might catch what's going on.
Occasionally I have these episodes which happen very suddenly where I experience a static sound in my ears, hot flushes loss of balance, loss of hearing, some loss of sight, nausea and heart palpitations, and as of my last episode I experienced loss of sensation in my legs. These episodes cause fainting or near fainting. I also get cold to the touching go as white as a ghost.
I stopped fainting/feeling faint after that. Before the fainting spells, though, I also took an annual flu shot (I've taken it the year before in 2018, as well, and had no issues). My blood glucose levels were within normal limits (although they were all taken when I felt no palpitations and several hours after eating).
Tests for my thyroid (including TSH, thyroglobulin, free T3, free T4, T3, T4) all came back normal.
1.5 months ago, I started experiencing my heart pounding and racing right after taking over the counter diuretics (Pamabrom) for a few days. The palpitations occurred everyday and I would have these palpitations several hours at a time. Since then, I've done EKGs, an echocardiogram, event monitor, and holter monitor. The cardiologists say that they found nothing concerning despite 2 occasions when my heart rate went well above 130 bpm.
The enlargement could/would effect the electrical pathways of an electrical impulses, impulses that contract the heart chambers, and as a syndrome of a heart valve abnormality cause, severe rhythm (s), fainting spells, palpitations, chest pain, anxiety attack, arrhythmia, irregular heartbeat,..
Hope this provides a perspective. thanks for the response.
As long as you do not have any heart disease and cause no other symptoms (eg. fainting) you should be okay. They sure do startle you at first and you think your heart is going to stop, but relax and take a deep breath and continue on. Anxiety tends to increase them and they are hard to forget. Scroll through the forum or search internet for lots more information.
My 14 yrs old has had fainting spells since she was in first grade. Her fainting spells looked like she was having a seizure. After she had several fainting spells, she was tested for seizures but all the test came back negative. About three years ago we find out she has an enlarged thyroid and hypothyroidism. About six months ago, she had a sleep study done because she waking up ever couple hours every night. The study showed that she was having seizures every couple minutes.
I have no family history, no dizziness or fainting spells. Only palpitations. This usually happens when I'm sitting or relaxing in bed. I have no other symptoms when this happens. I have a long history of a panic disorder and OCD but this is it. No other health issues. Dropping dead is my worst case scenario and I live in fear of it.
i just felt like i will faint...but didn't...gart rate was normal around 63-65...i felt good when i stopped watching my phone and looked around..
The cardiologist has ruled out cardiac reasons for the near fainting spells. They seem to be more frequent and intense during the fevers. Could it be nerve damage related? I've been getting adequate fluid intake, so don't think that's part of it. What other possibilities are there?
Also, he was able to rule out heart valve vegetations, clots and infection. None of them are related to what's happening in the nervous system.
Hi, I am a 21 year old male who had experienced spells of fainting since 10 year old. These fainting spells occur all of a sudden without me doing any physical demanding activities. I play a lot of sports and I eat healthily. Over the years my fainting spells got lesser and lesser. 2 Months ago, I fainted again. I went for a specialist check up and had a bunch of tests taken. ECG test came negative, Tilt Table came negative. My heart rate is healthy, BP is normal.
My 14 year old daughter has been having fainting spells for about a year now. In October, she was diagnosed with Epilepsy due to an EEG that showed slowing in the left temporal lobe. This was confirmed in December by another doctor. She was on Keppra and then was added Trileptal but kept having spells. So, the docs put her in the hospital for 5 days and weaned her off the medication while on video EEG. She had one episode but it didn't record as seizure so they decided it was cardiac.
breathlessness, shortness of breath, chest pain and tightness, heart palpitations (fluttering, pounding, irregular heartbeat), dizziness, fainting spells and tremors mainly in my hands.
I can't even go up the stairs normally, or even run 5-10 metres to catch the bus, I feel like my lungs are collapsed and can't breath, I have really bad chest pains and heart palpitations.

, weakness, dizziness, near fainting spells. ive gone to my PCP who did an MRI and echo. nothing. I was surfing the web and found atrial fib. and i think this is what i have. i just thought there might be a connection with my blood disease. i am awaiting my appnmt with a cardiologist, as well as my hematologist. and i requested a holster, so i am wearing that tomorrow. but my PCP is kind of stumped and i think ive got the answer.
I have occasional spells of fainting with an increased heart rate that lasts all day, My heart rate is usually at about 48. It spikes to over 130. I have had EKGs done, and EEG done, and an ultr sound on my heart. The results show that my heart is fine. It can come on randomly. They thought maybe I had diabetes, that was not correct. I faint no matter what I do. It happened while I was laying down, sitting, while driving, and just walking.
Anybody else have increased heart palpitations during pregnancy? My job is kind of stressful and I probably don't stay well hydrated bc I'm so busy so I'm thinking that's why I had palpitations a few times today but I notice them more lately. No fainting or numbness anywhere either. I checked my blood pressure after and it was about 132/89 so a bit high but again im thinking stress related/ exertion at work. I don't have any heart conditions that I am aware of.
I am a very stressed 21 yr old female, my body doesnt handle stress well. I have always had moderate to severe anxiety. I had a miscarriage last year and ever since then i have had these "fainting spells" I know before i pass out that im going to, for about 30-45 secs before i pass out i feel like the world is crumbling on top of me, like im being smothered and then i pass out. When I come to I vomit, everytime.
