Heart pounding in head - Heart Disorders Message Board

Hello!

i have one problem. i'm 24 years old and i fell my heart beating for almost 7 years. I had several tests, like ultrasound, EKG, 24 hours holter and tyroid test. all was normal only FT4 hormon was little bit raised, but TSH, FT3, AntiTPO, AntiTG and TSI were ok. so doctor said that raised bilirubin (I have Gilbert syndrom) caused wrong FT4 result?!

I fell my heart beating nonstop, when i stand up is this beating stronger for few seconds and when i liing on the left side is this feeling also stronger.

i make a lot of sport (MTB and Freeriding) and i have no problems with extreme effort, only thing is ,that i feel heart over my body and in my head.

i was taking some beta-blockator but didn't helped ,only my heart rate had droped down to 45 beats per second.

i will be very happy if somebody will tell me, what that can be!

Thanks!

I sometimes feel my heart beating too and have asked my Doctor about it. He thinks I'm just more aware of my heart because of my heart related syndrome. I haven't had it as often as I used to but did notice it over the last 3 years and now I'm on Toporal and Norvasc. I'm not sure which one treated the pounding heart as both were prescribed at the onset of my episode. You need to tell your Doctor that your still experiencing symptoms or look for a second opinion until YOU feel satisfied that your o.k. - I wish I knew more to make you feel better. Hopefully someone else on this board can tell you more but at least look for a second opinion. Take care!

Sometimes a strong heartbeat can be caused by interactions between a medication that you are taking and food, drink or a vitamin supplement that you are taking. Sometimes it can be caused by an interaction between more than one medication and/or food or drinks that you are taking. Sometimes a strong heartbeat can be caused by allergens that you have encountered. Do you have allergies?

At any rate, I have a suggestion that you might want to consider. Digoxin, at .125mg is a medication that will slow your heartrate and also will suppress some of the hormonal reactions that can irritate the heart. If you take more than .125mg, it will actually make your heart beat harder, and make it worse, so you don't want to exceed .125mg. You might consider asking your doctor if Digoxin .125 would be worth trying. It is a very inexpensive medication. It would probably take a couple of weeks before the Digoxin would start to work, so if the doctor approves, keep in mind that it might not start workiing for a while.

Another question. Do you drink grapefruit juice?

Thanks for replays!

when this started i didn't eat any medication or vitamin tablets. i also did't have stresfull life. i have allergies, but they are not so strong, only when grass start to bloom. then i'm taking anti allergies tablets. i don't eat grapefruit, because is not good for Gilbert's syndrom. now i'm taking fish oil for heart and grape seed extract and Artemisia cappilaris for Gilbert's. i have a feeling that after taking a omega3 i don't fell my heart beating so much .

i don't have fast heartbeat. only think is that i felling it.
