What causes heart fluttering and headache while driving?
Patient: Hello I m a 57 yr old female, and I experienced fluttering in my chest with the feeling was getting a migraine while driving into the city this morning. The migraine did not occur, but a headache followed but not to the degree of a migraine. See someone?? Doctor: Hello!  I would explain that your symptoms could be related to possible cardiac arrhythmia. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests: - a resting ECG- complete blood count for anemia- blood electrolyte for possible imbalances- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction. An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be needed to investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
