Suggest Treatment For Anxiety, Lightheadedness And Heart Palpitations
Brief Answer:
if not more severe than usual can wait for GP
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can call your GP this am since there is a previous history and you are currently on medication for palpitations, unless the current palpitations are much more severe that normal.
If it was new onset of symptoms then it would warrant immediate treatment.
The heart palpitations are the most worrisome of the symptoms present (in terms of possible risk of complications) , they may be related to the anxiety, in which case there may be no immediate change in the heart medication.
Heart palpitations can cause lightheadedness if there is temporary disturbance of blood supply to the brain.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
