Heaviness fast heartbbeat fear in chest shaky body dizziness - #26155

hello shakeel, What you’re describing dizziness, shakiness, chest heaviness, fast heartbeat, fear sensation, and burning in the chest after a fever injection suggests your nervous system and circulation may be reacting sharply, likely due to:

Post-injection anxiety or vasovagal reaction Hyper-reactivity of your Vata and Pitta doshas after fever Possibly a sensitivity to the injected medicine or preservative used These symptoms are real, but often not dangerous. They usually settle with the right support and calm recovery.

Your body may still be recovering from fever, and the injection could have aggravated your Vata (causing shakiness, fear, palpitations) and Pitta (causing chest burning, heat). If this was a strong antibiotic, antipyretic, or corticosteroid injection, such symptoms can happen temporarily.

What you should do now : 1. First Aid Steps:

Sit or lie down in a calm, ventilated room Sip warm water slowly (with a pinch of cardamom or fennel if available) Avoid all stimulants – no coffee, tea, cold drinks Apply cold coconut oil on chest and forehead (cooling and grounding)

2. Internal Medicines (for 7–10 days):

Praval Pishti – 125 mg with honey, twice daily (for burning, heartbeat) Mukta Vati or Saraswatarishta – 10 ml with 10 ml water at night (for calming nerves and heart) Kamdugdha Ras (Plain) – 1 tablet twice a day after food (cooling for chest and stomach) Jatamansi churna – ¼ tsp at bedtime with warm milk or water (for shakiness and fear) These are safe classical medicines. Avoid if you’re on other heart or steroid medication unless doctor clears it.

Warm, soft, mildly spiced food only (khichdi, moong dal, lauki, etc.) Avoid chili, sour curd, outside food, or oily snacks Sip coconut water, pomegranate juice, or coriander water Avoid eating heavy food at night Lifestyle Support: Deep breathing 10 minutes morning and night (Anulom Vilom, Brahmari) T ake rest and avoid overthinking or excess screen time If fear and heartbeat worsen, don’t delay checking BP and ECG at a clinic

Investigations (only if symptoms repeat): ECG CBC, ESR Serum Electrolytes Vitamin B12, D3 Thyroid profile

This seems temporary and correctable, not a long-term disease. But if symptoms persist for more than 2 days or worsen, please visit a nearby hospital to rule out any rare complications.

You’ll feel better with rest, calming herbs, and time.

The symptoms you are experiencing, such as dizziness, a fast heartbeat, chest heaviness, and shakiness could indicate a reaction to the injection or a condition that needs immediate attention. It is crucial to prioritize your safety now. The signs of a fast heart rate, chest heaviness, and chest burning, particularly alongside a sense of fear, could suggest a serious condition such as a cardiovascular issue or allergic reaction to the medication youve taken. Seeking medical advice without delay is vital in such cases. Please visit the nearest hospital or urgent care to get examined promptly.

In the context of Ayurveda, once immediate medical concerns are ruled out, there are several considerations to organize your health on the long-term. Take note that this ayurvedic guidance is only applicable after addressing immediate needs with conventional treatment:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Focus on calming foods that balance Vata dosha, possibly aggravated in your situation, leading to shakiness and anxiety. Warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest, such as kichadi (a mix of rice and lentils), while avoiding stimulants like caffeine and alcohol, help soothe the system.

2. Herbs and Decoctions: Brahmi and Ashwagandha can help in calming the nervous system once any emergency condition is ruled out. A decoction of these herbs can be prepared by boiling in water and consuming twice a day.

3. Pranayama and Meditation: Engaging in gentle breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom and meditation can greatly reduce anxiety and fear contributing to the sensations in your chest.

4. Routine and Rest: Maintaing a consistent daily routine with ample rest periods and adequate sleep is critical for recovery. Avoid over-exertion physically or mentally.

Seek medical professional’s guidance immediate to ensure safety first. Only then explore Ayurvedic practices to support your overall well-being.

It seems you’ve experienced a strong reaction following your fever injection. Initially, it’s critical to address whether these symptoms suggest a severe reaction or an acute condition. Fast heartbeat, chest heaviness, along with dizziness and body shakiness can indicate something serious. Consulting a healthcare professional in this case, is essential. Seek immediate medical attention to rule out any critical concerns such as anaphylaxis or other reactions that demand urgent care.

Once immediate critical issues are ruled out, and if there’s an interest, Siddha-Ayurvedic principles may be applied to understand this from a different angle. These symptoms point towards a potential Vata and Pitta imbalance. Restoring harmony in these doshas and calming the mind might be beneficial.

Start by consuming cooling, nourishing, and grounding foods. Eat freshly prepared foods that are lightly cooked, avoiding overly spicy or fried options. Include ghee to calm Pitta and moisten Vata. Hydration is essential; drink lukewarm water with a pinch of cumin or coriander seeds to support digestion and soothe any inner heat.

For instant relief, lie down in a quiet, dimly lit room. Practice deep, slow breathing to help calm the nervous system; inhaling deeply through the nose, holding briefly, then exhaling slowly. Brahmi or Ashwagandha may help with calming the mind, yet only use them after a practitioner confirms they’re suitable for your condition. Avoid stimulants like caffeine.

If these symptoms persist beyond a transient phase, or worsen at any point, do not delay in seeking further medical advice. Your safety is paramount and ensuring there’s no underlying immediate condition is priority.
