I've been struggling with this issue for about two years now, and I'm really hoping for some insight. I'm a 27-year-old I.T. professional and this all started with sudden bouts of dizziness and sweating. I've gone through all the usual tests, like MRI and blood work, and the only thing that came up was a low B12 level at 83. Over time, I've begun feeling detached, and my doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. The problem hasnt gone away though, and now I sometimes experience fluttering, dizziness, and vomiting. It feels like I might faint, but I never actually do. I've had TMT and ECG tests twice, and both were normal. I worry it could be some kind of arrhythmia, but during these episodes, my heart rate seems stable with no major changes. It's confusing because these episodes don't seem linked to stress and only last a few seconds. I'm really anxious about this and just looking for a professional perspective on what's happening.

It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of panic attacks, which can be very distressing. The dizziness, sweating, fluttering sensation, vomiting, and feeling like you might pass out are all common symptoms of panic attacks. Since your heart rate remains normal during these episodes and your cardiac tests (TMT, ECG) have come back normal, it is less likely to be related to arrhythmia. One possible treatment option for your symptoms could be to take an anti-anxiety medication such as Xanax (Alprazolam). The usual starting dose for adults is 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg taken three times a day. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication. In addition to medication, therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can also be very effective in managing panic attacks. It can help you understand and cope with the triggers of your anxiety. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and response to treatment. If you continue to experience these episodes despite treatment, further evaluation may be needed.

I'm trying to figure out the best method or test to determine if my heart is in good condition. I've heard that an echo might not fully guarantee a healthy heart. Can you clarify this for me and maybe suggest other reliable options?
The best way to check the health of your heart is through a combination of tests. One of the most common and effective tests is an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of your heart. Additionally, an Echocardiogram (Echo) can provide valuable information about the structure and function of your heart. To get a comprehensive assessment, you can also consider a stress test to evaluate how your heart performs under physical exertion. These tests, along with blood tests to check cholesterol and other markers, can give a good indication of your heart health.
