Hi everyone hope you all keeping well. For the past few days I've had the worst headache I've ever had the worst day was Monday I literally couldn't get of the sofa the slightest movement and I got the sharpest pain ever. Now my question is it heart related? Because since this headache I've noticed my palpitations are back and what's even more weird they making my head hurt at the same time I don't know whether it's my heart medication or I should go to the GP what do you think??

definitely get a call in to your GP so not getting anxious. When I first started some heart medication 2 weeks ago I was horrendous and got to the point with palpitations and migraine to the point felt my head would explode 111 decided to get an ambulance to me. I knew not a heart attack felt More medication based.

Spoke to my next morning changed drug and so much better.

This might not be your case but just saying talking to GP for advice

Been happening since Monday morning. When I go to the GP they will ask what it's regarding and I will say headache and palpitations at the same time what doctor am I gona see 😅.

I have had massive headaches for years, and they do bring palpitations with them. I've noticed lately that they are related to food allergies. Have you had lot of rich food over the holiday. Some medications make food sensitivity worse.

Ah sorry to hear about your headaches aswell this is a new thing for me having the palpitations with a headache that keeps coming back. I haven't eaten any rich food lol been eating alot of pizza that's all I could afford. Which heart meds make food sensitivity worse I wasn't aware of this thank you, I'm on verapamil the only thing I know not to have is anything with grapefruit juice.

I'm not sure but acid reflux meds like omeprazole do. Just had a massive headache from French cheese. I usually eat Dutch cheese which I'm ok with.
