Palpitations
Cardiac palpitations can be caused by exercise or stress. If you have heart disease, are at high risk for heart attack, and other symptoms accompany it, it’s vital to check them out.
Heart palpitations are unfrequent during heart attacks, although a high likelihood might occur. This symptom is frequently reported more in women. In this case, pain in the chest area may radiate to the arms, neck, or jaw. Your heart’s rhythm may seem uneasy, and you may experience skipping a beat to a hammering or throbbing sensation. Since these are not typical palpitation symptoms, especially if accompanied by other heart attack symptoms, such as dizziness, chest tightness, chest pain, or fainting, you should get medical attention immediately.
On the other hand, a heart attack might result from palpitations if the heart is pounding so rapidly and for so long that it cannot pump blood and oxygen effectively. It may trigger irregular heart rhythms because damage to the heart’s electrical system might cause the natural pacemaker to malfunction to a life-threatening extent. Furthermore, sudden cardiac death is caused by ventricular tachycardia, one of the heart rhythm disorders linked to heart attacks.
