Strange Pulsating Feeling In Chest, Arms, Head. Frequent Tingling In Lips, Heart Taking Double Beat. Why?

Hi there. For a while I ve been getting a strange pulsating feeling through my chest arms and head. I also get a tingling feeling in my lips . They used to be about half an hour apart but are now happening every 30 seconds or do. It also feels like my heart is taking a double beat or something. Any idea what this could be?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

What is your age / gender / personal and family history?
You are having irregular heart beats / this needs to be DOCUMENTED by ElectroCardioGram (ECG / EKG).
THE FIRST STEP IS TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST
EKG /HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance. The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
