What Causes Loud Pounding Heart Beats Inspite Of Being On Inflammation Pills?
Today, I woke up twice to a very loud noise in my ears. The sound of a loud impact(car crash). I have never been scared in my life. I was in a auto mobile accident last month. So I haven t had anything like that happen to me. I am currently on inflammation pills. What could this be? My heart wanted to come out of my body. It took all morning to completely calm down. This has followed by a moderate head ache and sore ears from the noise. I did go to bed with a bit of a sore back before this occurred. When I woke up , I was on a back position facing up. I could not move fro the shock.

Hey,
Antiinflammatory drugs can sometimes cause tachycardia which can be bothersome. Tachycardia can also be due to anxiety. Getting a ECG done at the time of ongoing tachycardia is very important for diagnosis.
Try stopping the antiinflammatory drugs & if the tachycardia still persists you need to get a holter monitoring done. Untill than take a antianxiety tab like alprazolam 0.25mg at night.
Thanks
