Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have chest heaviness and lightheadedness along with muscular spasms.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query.
Lightheadedness and feeling of fainting are either due to low blood pressure or an abnormal rhythm of the heart. You will need a BP (blood pressure) check and ECG (electrocardiogram) so that any abnormality could be picked up.
Regards.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
But, I had a TMT test and the tests were negative. The doctors say that my heart is absolutely fine. I also am on Paxidep CR 12.5 medication and Etilaam 0.5 mg tablet for GAD.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If your cardiac is normal then I do not think you should worry. Consult your doctor about decreasing the dosage of Etilaam to 0.25 because this drug can cause lightheadedness and instead I suggest starting tablet Vertin CR 24 mg (Betahistine) once a day. Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medications with their consent.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
