Feeling faint
Possible causes
- Benign arrhythmias such as extrasystoles
Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat, where it might beat too slowly, too fast or with an irregular pattern. Benign arrhythmias are heartbeat irregularities which do not cause any symptoms. Causes include certain medications, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, inhaled aerosols, diet pills, stress, etc.
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart muscle becomes thick. It is most often caused by genes mutations in the heart muscle. These thickened heart muscles can become stiff, reducing the heart's ability to pump blood adequately.
- Multiple myeloma (MM)
This is a cancer of a type of white blood cell in the blood, called a plasma cell. Cancerous cells multiply and "crowd out" other healthy, normal cells. Risk factors include positive family history, older age, and male sex. Symptoms include fatigue, bone pain, weight loss, and inability to fight infections.
