My husband is a 40 year old somewhat active male and has been having dizzy spells during which his heart races and his blood pressure goes through the roof.  At time its almost as if hes going to pass out.  I am not sure what to do.  I recently had a heart attack and I believe he is more afraid and aware of these symptoms now than before.  His family dr. put him on 10mg of amlodipine besylate once a day.  It hasnt done anything to change the symptoms.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases in his case. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. His symptoms are mostly due to stress and fear. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on its solution. Try to identify remove fear of heart disease from his mind. He may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, he will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your friend.  Thanks.
