What is wrong with me?? please help.?
Okay, about 2 months ago i was having really bad heart palpitations. I found out that that was caused by a pre-workout drink I took called noxplode. I had 2 ekg's done and everything was fine. Then last weekend I caught a cold, so i started taking contac cold medicine(decongestant). I started getting heart palpitations again. i went to the doctor last week and he said it was caused by the decongestant and it was nothing to worry about. He did tell me i had acute bronchitis. but now ive been feeling weak and dizzy and getting mild heart palpitations. whats wrong with me? I had 2 blood test done, and everything was fine, ekgs looked good, and i'm only 18! whats possibly wrong with me?

From the sound of it and I am no doctor you are having some lung problems just like the doctor suggested bronchitis is a likely cause. Shortness of breath dizziness and weakness combined with heart palpitations can be serous. consult a specialist or get a full physical. But from what I you stated above it seems combined with some energy producing drinks where a lot of them have caffeine or some other stimulant would cause this your heart is pumping faster due to your body not getting enough oxygen and bronchitis. Some medicines from over the counter like contracs also makes at least me feel worst when I something similar recently.
Advice at best as I can stay away from energy drinks and caffeine.

I would suggest that you seek medical attention soon, as this may be something serious.

One major reason can be stress; symptoms sound familiar. You had electrocardiograms done, and they were fine; yet you were diagnosed with acute bronchitis. You though it was a cold and took over the counter medication. So far, we have heart palpitations; and perhaps a weak immune system. The sensation of dizziness, weakness and mild heart palpitations are symptoms associated with low blood pressure. My suggestion is to monitor your blood pressure, write it down and share it with your doctor. Nevertheless, I would not discard possible anxiety and stress. Whatever diet you are following is also something to consider. Do you have any nose bleeds? At your age, it may also be caused by the fact that you are still growing and your metabolism is trying to keep up. Check your blood pressure and heart rate. Perhaps just drinking a coke make the symptoms disappear. My emphasis is placed on stress and anxiety. Most likely you are going or just went through a rough time. You can e-mail me if you'd like noyolal@yahoo.com and go from there.
