Elevated Heart Rate, Sweaty Palms, Seeing Colors In Eyes. Not Stroke. What Else?
Hi, a couple of years ago i was admitted in to the Q.E hospital in Birmingham because they thought i was having a mild stroke as my heart kept racing. i had various test carried out on me but it came back that i had black spots and Noduals. At presant my heart is still racing and has been since Sunday and i keep seeing colours in my eyes and feel light headed and my hands are cold but the palms are sweaty, i'm currently in work lone working and i don't know what i should do?, i'm eating and drinking as normal so it's not a lack of food or water, i'm male aged 35 nearly 36 could you tell me what you think i should do as i was in and out of hospital over the course of a year for check up's but these check up's seemed to have stopped.
It is probably reduced blood supply to brain from the fast heart rate.
Sweaty palms again may be from this / or reactive anxiety from the situation
Arrhythmia probably may account for these features...get it investigated...beats need to be DOCUMENTED by ElectroCardioGram (EKG). Standard ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, for a few seconds. It can detect the arrhythmia occurring during that time only. If the episode occurs randomly or precipitated by a specific activity like exercise, one needs Holter or event monitor.
Condition like Pheochromocytoma can cause episodic fast rate, high pressure, sweaty palms. There are blood tests to estimate the adrenal hormones or their metabolites...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
