when i breathe in, my palpitations increases and goes from fast to slow.. is that normal ?

Question

For past 5 days i ve been dizzy, lightheaded, headache eyelid twitching fast and palpatations what could i be lacking out of breath just walking slow?

Answer 1

Yes: That is a normal response and is a sign of a healthy cardio respiratory system

Answer 2

Almost never: It is normal to have up to five "skipped beats" / "flipflop heartbeats" per minute, especially if you like to drink coffee. If they occur in a run, or if they take your breath away or cause actual pain, a physician's office visit is in order.

Answer 3

Not usually.: Palpitations can be sensing a norma heart beat in some patients. Most do have abnormal rate or rhythm. Most often premature contractions are noted. These are absolutely benign. Rarely, more worrisome rhythms can be seen. These need to be ruled out in someone with palpitations.

Answer 4

Maybe: Palpitation means a sensation in the chest of irregular heart beat. Usually these are benign. It may be an irregular heart beat. It may be just a sensation of of your breathing. Check your pulse to see if the heart is irregular. If you are worried, get it checked.

Answer 5

No: Palpitations are usually not deadly and are more just an uncomfortable feeling. With that being said, some palpitations can lead to fatal heart rhythms. If it is bothering you that much, I would put a holter monitor on you to determine the underlying morphology of your EKG. If that is concerning, it would be best to start some medications.

Answer 6

Yes and no: Although I do not believe there is a cause and effect relation between the two, certain types of patients have both. For instance, patients with mitral valve prolapse have an increased incidence of migraine headaches.

Answer 7

Palpitations: Palpitations and headaches are both common so finding them together would not be a surprise. Some causes of palpitations or headaches could cause each other.

Answer 8

Sometimes: Palpitations or the awareness of your heart beat is very common. It may be due to extra beats of the heart from stress, or med/diet issues. Others include atrial fibrillation which may often appear as you age. And, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia which may be inherited or be related to heart wiring issues at birth. Sudden cardiac death my occur in some families due to prolonged qt syndrome.

Answer 9

Not usually: Palpitations are due to arrhythmias and while most palpitations are due to premature contractions which are not inherited, there are some arrhythmias which are inherited, generally those that are more serious in nature.

Answer 10

Palpitations: Heart palpitation has been described as heart poundings, heart racing, heart skipping, heart stopping, heart rolling -- and it can be accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting spells and even black-out episodes -.

Answer 11

Palpitation Sx: Palpitations are an awareness of extra heartbeats which most of us have. The sensation can be single or multiple and can sometimes last minutes. Different people may feel other symptoms along with them such as dizzy, lightheaded or short of breath. The palpitations are almost always atrial or ventricular premature beats. Usually benign but they are also found with abnormal hearts.

Answer 12

Fast vs irregular: Palpitations are irregular heart beats and tachycardia is a fast heart beat.

Answer 13

Palpitations: Palpitations are extra heart beats felt as an unpleasant sensation. Tachycardia is rapid heart rate.
