If my coronary CT scan was normal and the doctor said my heart is fine, why am I still having palpitations and dizziness? Do these symptoms always mean there is a heart problem?

Have a query?

A normal coronary CT scan shows that your large heart arteries are likely clear, but palpitations and dizziness can still arise from other heart or non-heart causes. Conditions like arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), problems with heart's electrical system, or even low blood pressure can cause these symptoms despite a normal CT scan.
Your symptoms may be related to functional or electrical heart issues not visible on a coronary CT scan, such as atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmias. Non-cardiac causes like dehydration, anemia, or inner ear problems can also cause dizziness and palpitations.
Please consult a cardiologist for thorough assessment and tailored management to address your symptoms safely.
