What Could Heart Palpitation With Dizziness, Neck Pain And Weakness Indicate?
I have had heart palpitations for about an hour now. I have been mostly laying down from the dizziness and weakness. I have had pain in the left side of my neck that comes and goes. This started after I bent down to pick something up off the floor. I am female, 34 yrs. 5 ft. 0" 112 #

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that the palpitations could be related to the pain.
While, the pain could be related to a muscle spasm, due to a wrong position during bending down.
I would recommend taking ibuprofen for the pain and having some rest.
If the problem persists, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
- a cervical spine X ray study
- a Doppler ultrasound of the cervical arteries (to exclude possible dissection)
- a resting ECG.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
