I am 25 female, 7 months post partum- 3 months post gallbladder surgery.
I am 5'5 140 pounds.
I have in the past suffered from anxiety/panic attacks. I have terrible sinuses and allergy problems.
For the last 2 months Every time I go to stand up i get a strange pressure feeling in my neck and head..sometimes, not always..i feel my heart pound. I get lightheaded like i might pass out. I have heart palpitations...now i feel this terrible pressure like feeling under my ears and in my neck..sometimes when i move my neck certain ways I get a palpitation. It feels like if i put pressure on my chest that it also causes that tight feeling in my head and causes a palpitation.
In the past I have had several Ekgs, blood work, xrays..all came back fine.
I scheduled another appt with my dr for the 28th..it seems so far away so i thought i would get advice here while i wait.

Thanks for reading..I am REALLY scared.

Take care
Missy

DOes this sound like it might be a heart problem?

It's hard to say. Your symptoms are a little vague. Sounds like it could be a blood pressure problem.

It mainly happens when I stand up..almost every time..which is really getting to me, I have a 7 month old to take care of. I stand up , after a second or two I feel this pressure like feeling creeping into my head and often my heart will pound. My blood pressure normally runs around 107/70 is that bad??

Thanks for replying

Check to see if your BP drops when you stand.
Or, it could be something simple like ear or sinus infection or maybe inner ear.
That's all I can think of.
Holding your baby while you are standing up when you feel dizzy isn't too wise though...
I hope your mystery is solved quickly and you feel better soon...
