Palpitations and Lightheadedness Posted: 09-18-08 04:13am
Hi there,
I am a 20 year old male, average weight. A
few days ago, I suddenly developed slight
heart palpitations one afternoon, and they
have not gone away since then. My chest
feels tight constantly, and I feel very
weak, detached and unreal. My eyes feel
quite heavy all the time, too.
I don't know if it's related, but the top
corner of my left eye has been twitching a
bit as well (though not for the last 2
days).
Initially I thought it may have been
caused by my caffeine intake, which has
been perhaps a bit higher than it ought to
have been. I completely stopped drinking
coffee, though there is no improvement at
all.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Are you under any considerable amount of
stress at the moment? Also, it can take
up to 2-9 days to withdraw from
caffeine, athough the average is 1-2
days.
