Question
Hello doctor,
Around 4:30 am on July 12, my heart beats very fast, every time I lie down to sleep, it's like there's something burning pressing on the nape of my neck. The doctor asked me if my heart palpitations need an MRI of the head? At night when lying down to sleep, the heart is beating fast, going to the hospital, checking the blood for the thyroid gland, having a high TSH, having taken the medicine for 1 month, plus antral inflammation, swelling and red blood, always feeling difficult to move the left side of the body. what happened? I have heart palpitations that throb from time to time, where should I go to see a doctor, because of directive 16, no hospital accepts patients. Doctor, can you tell me what's wrong with me? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Does the heart palpitations need an MRI of the head?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have heart palpitations, related to thyroid hormone and are being treated. In the info you said high TSH. Often one cause of heart palpitations is an overactive thyroid (in this case the TSH must decrease and the FT4 increase). You should review your test results.
Phenomenon like you describe tachycardia needs to be confirmed by electrocardiogram and possibly echocardiography, not brain MRI. You can visit your doctor for specific advice.
If you still have questions about heart palpitations, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
