Palpitations in hot weather may be caused by physiological factors, cardiac neurosis or arrhythmia.
1. Physiological factors: hot weather will cause increased sweating, decreased blood volume causing sympathetic nerve excitation, increased heart rate, resulting in palpitations.
2. Cardiac neurosis: Cardiac neurosis is a syndrome characterized by psychosomatic problems or neurological dysfunction, mainly manifested by palpitations, dyspnea, chest pain and tightness, etc. Hot weather may aggravate the patient’s symptoms.
3. Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia such as ventricular premature beat, atrial fibrillation and so on will also appear palpitation symptoms, sweating more in hot weather, sympathetic nerve excitement, palpitation and other symptoms can be aggravated.
If patients have recurrent palpitations and other uncomfortable symptoms, they need to go to the hospital in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out the appropriate tests such as electrocardiogram, echocardiography, etc., to clarify the cause of the disease and then actively carry out the treatment.
