Heart palpitations

Every time I do a workout or an intens activity, I experience heart palpitations during or after the exercise. It feels like the neurological signals to my heart are coming through properly, especialy when I'm tired or fatigued. Is there someone else who has the time?

BPPV anyone?

Two or three years back I had a bout of really bad vertigo. The neuro diagnosed me with BBPV and sent me to the ear clinic for exercises. I'm not sure what else to call it 😂 About a year ago, I discovered that I had an MRI in 2022 which showed brain stem lesions. This was picked up using a volum...

Walking aids?
