Palpitations and headache - Headaches & Migraines Message Board

I have been having pre-mature heartbeats for 1 month by now. Lately, the palpitations is also causing headache. I read a lot of materials on the net but none of them relates headache to palpitations. Is it something really need to be concerned about?

Not trying to be smart or anything, but if concerned, go see your doctor.

If you get very scared of the palpitations, this can cause a killer headache. Happens to me all the time. Every time I have a panic attack, I get a bad headache afterwards. Is it any wonder?

Palpitations are always a concern...and the more you have, the more you worry, and the more you worry, the more you have. It's a terrible cycle. I've gone through it. I was having heart troubles about 2 years or 3 years ago...I had to have some testing done and even had an angiogram. I know that when you are worried you feel - and analyze - every little beat. See your Dr. They will test you and then you can deal with whatever may - or may NOT - be going on - and stop worrying about it. Good luck!

are you prone to panic attacks? when i get anxiety attacks i get chest pains, heart palpitations, and difficulty breathing... and also get migraines 20-25 days out of the month. if you think you may be getting anxiety attacks, i'd ask your doctor for a prescription or a referral to a psychiatrist. i currently take xanax four times a day (more if needed) and it's helped to control my anxiety attacks.
