Suggest Medications For Sporadic Flutters With Dizziness

For the last 2-3 days I ve had a sporatic flutter in the upper right side of my chest. it starts about 4 below my collar bone and when it happens, it travels up my neck a bit. I get very slightly dizzy, then the flutter stops, the dizziness recedes and I m fine til the next time it happens. I m hyperthyroid, taking 10mg of methimazole in the morning. The flutter/dizziness thing happens off and on all day long.

Hi welcome to health care magic,

I understand your query and concern.

Flutter with dizziness in your case are suggestive of any arrhythmias of heart which means abnormal conduction abnormality of heart.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo of your heart immediately to confirm the diagnosis.I also advise you to get lipid profile,complete blood picture,chest x ray immediately as a part of routine check up.Drugs like Amiodarone,Betaloc,Pantop 40 mg will be helpful in your case.Avoid stress and anxiety.Avoid smoking ,alcohol,fatty foods.Abnormal lipid profile if present in your case should be treated with atorvastatin.Monitor blood pressure and heart rate immediately.Electro-physiological study and radiofrequency ablation will be the procedure of choice.Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
