Lightheaded

Hello all ,

I don’t really post much however would really be grateful for any advice and support.

I have AF but I’m not symptomatic , I just get Afib flutters occasionally which to be honest don’t bother me to much so I am very lucky .

I have also had two TIA’s six months ago due to the flutter or so the doc says as they couldn’t find any other reason .

The reason I need some advice is that I am constantly feeling lightheaded, dizzy and feel like I shake inside all the time , it really is getting me down

I discussed with GP and he strongly believes that I am experiencing a high level of anxiety around my health issues, and that is making me shake inside and dizzy , he said there isn’t a quick fix and I’m already on sertraline which should help

Guess my question is have any of you experienced the same or am I odd?? Also will this pass as it’s getting me down

Thankyou in advance

Kind regards x

Hi, you don’t say if you are male or female? The reason I mention is the same happened to me I am menopausal, I had all the investigations nothing showed up. There is a theory that low estrogen can cause this too? Also I took advice from another cardiologist and took Magnesium Taurate I’ve been fine since. I’m considering body identical HRT now.
