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.
Hi. I've had lots of vice like headaches recently, along with an aching neck. Along with this,I have palpitations whilst resting and it feels like a pulse in my head and neck at the same time. Then for no particular reason, I'm having episodes when my heart seem to jump or 'trip' making me cough. Does this sound like cause for concern? Thank you.
