Heart flutters, tingling and head pressure - circulation issues?

Hi guys and girls,

Having a lot of health problems but lately my heart (ablated for afib 3 years ago) has been playing up a lot.

I've been having flutters, palps, ectopics beats and the last week or so I've felt blood rushing to head symptoms whenever these occur and I've now wondering whether the tingling, pins/needles and coldness I've been feeling in my hands and feet is connected. I'd assumed those to be neurological, but having had a nerve conduction study 2 weeks ago that was clear, I'm struggling to find the problem.

Any of this sound familiar and what sort of symptoms do you get from circulation problems?

Thanks

I've been having flutters, palps, ectopics beats for years and I mentioned this to the consultant after I had the ICD pacemaker fitted and he dismissed it out of hand, saying there could be any reason for it. I have tingling in the feet for two years and my GP said he didn't think it was anything 'sinister' & arranged for physio, which didn't help. Since then I have mentioned it several times to GPs but nothing has been investigated.

I realise this isn't much help but just to let you know you aren't the only one.

No, it's a great deal of comfort to know that I'm not the only one.

The pressure in my head right now feels like vertigo or something, which I've had before, but I get like a pulse of pressure in my head each time I get an ectopic or flutter now. I hope you can get some help soon Meenzer.
