What to do about dizziness and palpitations

If a patient experiences dizziness and palpitations, it may be due to the occurrence of hypertension. Elevated blood pressure increases the pressure load on the heart and induces myocardial ischemia, which in turn induces palpitations, rapid heartbeat or premature beats. If it is caused by hypertension, the first step is to combine it with antihypertensive treatment. If the patient is triggered by postural hypotension, it should be combined with oral antihypertensive drugs, for example, it is recommended that the patient can take oral raw pulse drink, which helps to raise blood pressure. However, if the patient’s dizziness and palpitations are caused by insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries, it is recommended to combine with medications to improve the insufficient blood supply to the cerebral arteries, such as blood-raising and brain-clearing granules or brain-clearing and rejuvenating liquid. It is also recommended that the patient further clarify the diagnosis, for example, by doing an ambulatory electrocardiogram as well as transcranial Doppler and head CT examinations.
