been lightheaded for over a month also been to hospital details In post

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hi I have had missing beats in my heart for years they come and go but when they happen it feels like for a few seconds my heart is empty like a void is their.

The new symptoms I've been getting are lightheaded near on every day for over a month I have been to the hospital many times over the years even last week they kept me in for observation I had ecg xrays bloods all came back as normal. I asked the doctor why I feel lightheaded and feel like fainting he said I don't no but it's not your heart.

I am going up next month for a 24 holter monitor.

What I would like to no is what is going on with me each time I go to hospital they say no your heart is perfectly fine so why am I getting lightheaded unable to focus and when I stand for 5 or 10 minutes I get vertigo and feel like the room is wabbleing like I'm on a boat.

Any help would be appreciated as I feel doctors just don't seem to listen.

    Well an update to my conditions.

    The docs did a series of tests on my heart echo cardio, stress test, holter test and series of blood tests all came back as fine I even had lower then average skipped beats which is good doc said. Over 24 hour period only .5% of beats where skipped average is 5%.

    The doc said that it could be muscle skeletal related due to the fact I had bells palsy about 6 months before this all started over 3 years ago and my neck became extremely stiff for about 2 weeks I couldn't turn left or right 4 months before it all started.

    I looked online and keep hearing about the vagus nerve so I am unsure if that is causing it and the doctors in the hospital seem to not want to even acknowledge that something is wrong.

    I really don't know what to do in this situation I feel like I am banging my head off a wall.
