Episodes Of Lightheadedness, Tingling In Arms, Spells Of Increased Heartbeat, Dizziness With Tingling, Tremors Followed By Headache. Advice?
I have had 2 episodes of feeling lightheaded to the point of almost passing out, and tingling/numbness in my arms. I ve also had 2 eposides of gradually increasing heartbeat (into 120 s) and pounding heart, with dizziness and the numbness/tingling. After the rapid heartbeat eposides I ve been shaky and cold. Once all of the symptoms subside whether it s the lightheadedness or the rapid heartbeat, I get a headache .

Hello,
Please mention that for how much this whole episode lasts and what is its frequency of occuring in the day?
The description which you given can be due to panick attacks.
Get your blood pressure and blood sugar checked.
You would require some anti anxiety medications for panic attacks.
