Palpitations are the distinct feeling of a pounding heart, whether it is the realization that the heart is suddenly beating faster, slower, missing beats or stronger, which can lead to weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain or tightness in the chest, fatigue, fainting and other symptoms.
Palpitations can occur for a few seconds when you are nervous, stressed or have had a late night. These are usually harmless and require only emotional adjustment and rest, and the palpitations will disappear.
If the palpitation lasts for a long time, the resting heart rate is more than 100 beats per minute, or accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain or pressure sensation, transient loss of consciousness or fainting, etc., then it suggests that there may be coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, anemia, hyperthyroidism, etc., and it is recommended that the patient consult the doctor in a timely manner to find out the cause of the disease, and comply with the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
