light headed and heart palpatations

[lexie60]

I happened upon this site looking for help. I read "mominaz1" question posted back in Jan. and it was as if I has written it. I am an active 60 year old. High energy,still working, until 9 days ago when I was taken away in an ambulance. I am suffering from heart palps,dizziness,and headaches. I have had EKG's (normal) blood tests(normal) heart echo (normal).I am reduced to sitting in a chair all day for fear of falling. I had the glucose tolance test and ended up in the emergency room an hour after the test. Had EEG today. Waiting to be hooked up to heart monitor for 21 days,as 24 hour monitor showed nothing. If you are out there "mominaz1", I hope you are well. If you have found an answer please share.

I know how it feels to be afraid to go to sleep, never thought this would be my life. Please keep insisting and follow up.

Glucose tolerance test was 68. Unremarkable states the doctor,yet I am still having symptoms. Potassium was a bit low,and was instructed to drink Gator Aid. The only thing keeping me from having drastic episodes and running to the ER is eating every 1 to 2 hours. I can feel myself getting shaky, so I eat something sweet or sip orange juice as not to pass out. No thyroid testing done yet,but will insist at next office visit. Thank you for reaching out.

Hi Lexie!  A couple of questions.  What did the glucose test show?  Did your blood test check electrolytes - an imbalance would cause palps, dizziness, headache, etc.  It is easy to correct.  If your heart echo and ekg were normal, that would rule out heart issues I would think.  What about thyroid, was that checked?  Try not to worry, so far everything is coming out fine...
