Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my sister is having heart palpitations which lasts for a few minutes. she said she had a hard time breathing and feels like "drowning." she had her heart check but it was normal. she also reported experiencing hand shivers whenever the palpitation attacks happen. what do you think is the cause of her palpitations?
I assume then that she has had a EKG/ECG done and that was normal. Next I am curious if her thyroid is normal. Hyperthyroidism could cause these symptoms as well as anxiety/panic attcks without a trigger. I would let us know more about the times when these attacks occur and any associated foods related to this.
