Why do I have heart palpitations with shivers?
Patient: I have felt like I've had a few heart palpitations...feeling shaky inside.. little or no appetite ...and a tiny bit of diarrhea. I am currently on a generic Keppra from where I had one seizure months ago....and on lisinopril 10 mg for blood pressure....I do not have actual chest pain. I'm trying to cipher if anxiety or something else Doctor: Hello!Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection. What is the dose of levetiracetam that you are taking? What is your body temperature? Do you have fevers?I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, an abdominal ultrasound, a stool analysis and some blood lab tests: -complete blood count-PCR, sedimentation rate-blood electrolytes-kidney and liver function tests-blood bacterial culture. You should discuss with your doctor on the above mentioned issues. Hope to have been helpful!Best wishes!Dr. Iliri
