This was posted quite a while ago but it appears that you experienced something very similar to what I am going through right now. I got hit in the head. A few weeks later I fainted. Since then I've had these heart palpitations. I've seen a doctor about all the usual heart stuff but everything has come up normal heart-wise. Can you give me an update as to what happened after?
Thanks
Thank you for your question. There can be several reasons of such symptoms although without being able to examine him I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that he needs, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about his health concern.
Generally pain in the back portion of the head, neck and lightheadedness symptoms originate from the neck problems due to irritation/injury in the cervical (neck) spine since the nerves that supply the back of the head start in the upper cervical spine. Mostly, this kind of head pain aggravates after turning head and typically occurs in patients with previous neck injuries. On the other hand, another possibility is panic/anxiety disorder when one may experience symptoms like shortness of breath, feeling of choking, pain in the chest, nausea, stomach ache, feeling dizzy, tingling or numbness, bounding heartbeat or fast heart rate, sweating, shaking etc. even without any underlying disorder. If you suffer continuous pain at back of head/neck, other unusual symptoms please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who will evaluate the possibilities here and can provide you an appropriate treatment. Hope this information proves helpful to you.
