what is causing light head and heart flutter when swallow?

Accepted Answer

Flutter: My guess is that you're experiencing irregularity of heart rhythm in the form of extrasystoles(premature heart beats). If this is the case you would notice an irregularity in your pulse at the wrist or over the neck(carotid artery). To document this, wearing an outpatient Holter Monitor would record your heart rhythm and show what's happening when you note that symptom. Stomach distenson can cause

Question 3

light headed 4 days in a roll?

Accepted Answer

Make sure: you are eating properly and also have fluid intake.  If you are doing this it is not normal to be light headed and dizzy for four days in a row.  Any headaches or visual symptoms? Any muscle pain or pain on blinking your eyes?  See a doctor if this persists.

Question 6

what do i do if i get light headed a lot?

Accepted Answer

Hydration and diet: Some people become lightheaded when changing to standing from a sitting or laying position. Move so slowly to let your body adjust to blood moving away from your head. Drinking plenty of fluids and maintaining a well balanced diet are helpful in preventing lightheaded feelings. If you are still noticing these episodes, see your doctor to have the problem investigated further.

Question 7

why do i feel light headed after sitting?

Accepted Answer

Low blood pressure: Blood pools in your legs while sitting. If you stand the body tells the veins and arteries to squeeze in the legs. If your dehydrated or have other conditions the response may not be strong enough to get blood to your brain.

Question 8

what causes light headed when lying down?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: The sensation of lightheadedness is not very specific,  but vertigo (bppv) could be one of the causes.  I would recommend see your local neurologist to be evaluated.

Question 9

how come i get light headed when i stand?

Accepted Answer

Upright lightheaded: There can be many reasons - the most common, being dehydrated.  Adequate water, and some salt intake (limit the latter) can help.  If that is not the problem, then have your orthostatic blood pressure and heart rate assessed.  There can be many other causes, some that are cardiovascular, some that involve your equilibrium/balance systems.

Question 10

i feel very light headed most of the time?

Accepted Answer

exam: Combination of chest tightness, lightheadedness  and weakness brings up the question as to whether you are well enough oxygenated. Are you short of breath, new onset of confusion or blue face or lips? - these symptoms would warrant emergency evaluation.  Can't diagnose your condition based on this constellation of symptoms - consider evaluation by your doctor either in -person or via telemedicine.
