I recently had a weird feeling in my chest (palpitations) and thought my nose was going to bleed. That scared me enough to go to the ER. They ran an EKG which was a little abnormal, but the blood test and everything thing else came back normal. They told me to visit a cardiologist just to make sure. I did that and the doctor did another EKG (which still showed a little abnormality) but the sonogram and stress test all came back normal. He told me that my heart was fine, which gave me some relief, and that I may have high blood pressure. Ever since I had the weird feelings in my heart, I've had this persistence lightheaded feeling. It’s not debilitating but it has hindered my ability to have a productive day. I am a little sensitive to bright light and feel constantly light headed.


Recently when I get stressed my lightheadedness makes my head numb for a few seconds. I sleep fine but once I wake up I feel a little lightheaded. I am very scared I am dying from a tumor or heart failure, but the blood tests and heart tests all came back normal. Do you have any ideas on why this is happening? It usually comes whenever I am about to step outside (for work, shopping... etc.) and lasts the majority of the day. My parents say it’s just anxiety, but I’m not scared of anything except the lightheaded feeling. Should I see a physiatrist? Or a neurologist? What do you think? And has anyone else experienced this?

You should see a psychologist first and he will tell you if you need a psychiatrist. There are many factors that could affect your body to feel that way. Try taking those medicines to cure and prevent being lightheaded, vertigo, or nausea. You're too young for a heart failure.
