8. Dizziness
Depending on the reason for the heart palpitations, several symptoms may appear including dizziness. If palpitations cause enough discomfort to cause prolonged dizziness, a doctor should be consulted. Palpitations caused by anxiety, eating too much spicy food or strenuous exercise can cause a temporary dizzy feeling that resolves after rest.
When dizziness does not resolve after rest, it could point to a health issue with your heart. As with lightheadedness and fainting, the interruption of adequate blood to the brain lowers blood pressure causing dizziness.
