Heart racing, pounding extremely hard where others can feel it, heart rate dropping, feeling faint, extreme dizziness. What is t


Posted by Katie

Last night, my boy-friend was not feeling well.  His heart was racing and he kept saying he didn't feel well.  He would say his heart was going extremely fast and then say it was dropping.  He also said he was extremely dizzy, and feeling like he was going to pass out.  He had eaten just a few hours before, wasn't outside in high temps., he's not diabetic.  He said that he was told once that it may be something like arethmea, but possibly more serious.  He was using abriviations last night when we were discussing this.  I was just curious if you could possibly tell me what it may have been (the condition) he was describing to me and how serious of a condition it is?
