In other words, palpitation is the term used to describe the sensation of being conscious of your heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Palpitations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/heart-palpitations\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20373196#:~:text=Heart%20palpitations%20(pal%2Dpih%2D,%2C%20they're%20usually%20harmless.\">ref. link<\/a>) can be as simple as being aware of your heart&#8217;s activity, or as intense as feeling like it is beating more quickly and forcefully than normal. It may occasionally feel as though your heart is skipping beats or fluttering.<\/p>\n<p>Your heartbeat fluctuating is typically nothing significant. However, if you get palpitations or believe your heartbeat is abnormal, you should always visit your doctor.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How typical are palpitations of the heart?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to one study (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK436016\/\">ref. link<\/a>), 16% of patients who went to their primary care physician were there because they were experiencing palpitations. Heart palpitations are one of the most typical reasons people consult a cardiologist.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Causes of heart palpitations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Strong emotions, drugs, and lifestyle choices are just a few potential reasons for heart palpitations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People can also occasionally experience palpitations if they are suffering from a health condition affecting their heart or other organs in their body. Some other reasons behind experiencing <\/span>heart palpitations<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Emotional or psychological triggers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotional or psychological triggers such as stress or anxiety <\/span>cause heart palpitations<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When experiencing intense or volatile emotions your heart beats faster due to the release of stress hormones like cortisol. Anxiety triggers the fight-or-flight reaction, which also raises the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/in\/how-heart-rate-monitors-can-help-you-maximize-zone-2-training-for-running\/\">heart rate<\/a> of the person. Even though <\/span>heart palpitations <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are frightening, most of them are not harmful. After the anxiety-inducing circumstance or any other emotional triggers are passed, they disappear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home Treatments for <\/span>Heart Palpitations Caused<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Emotional triggers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sit down and take slow, deep breaths as soon as you notice an abnormal or rapid heartbeat.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Drink cold water since it is thought that the pressure from the oesophagus pressing against the heart will help the rhythm return to normal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Meditating can help you lower your stress level.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Steer clear of things like spicy cuisine, high-fat foods, caffeinated beverages, etc. that cause an acid reflex.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><br \/>\n2. Exercise<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise is beneficial and vital, but some people get<\/span> heart palpitations<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when they work out. People frequently get palpitations while engaging in intensive exercise. Eat a small meal that is primarily composed of carbohydrates and protein two to three hours before your workout to prevent such a situation. Your body will be able to digest your food and use it as fuel for activity as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, don&#8217;t limit yourself to drinking water only when working out. Stay hydrated by drinking water frequently throughout the day and keeping an eye on the colour of your urine as an indicaitor of dehydration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Consumption of Nicotine<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many heart problems are caused as a result of smoking tobacco, using illegal drugs like cocaine, or using stimulants like Sudafed. Also, you consume nicotine when you smoke cigarettes. Nicotine has a range of effects on your body, but it mostly affects your cardiovascular system which results in increased heart rate, rising blood pressure, or narrowing of the arteries.\u00a0 Additionally, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nicotine results in your arterial walls\u2019 hardening (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-lifestyle\/quit-smoking-tobacco\/how-smoking-and-nicotine-damage-your-body\">ref. link<\/a>)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Your circulatory system and how your heart works are directly impacted by nicotine in ways that might ultimately result in a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/in\/heart-attacks-in-women-symptoms-diagnosis-prevention-strategies-more\/\">heart attack<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Medications<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following over-the-counter and prescription drugs are the reasons behind heart palpitations.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asthmatic drugs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drugs to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/in\/10-surprising-ways-yoga-and-meditation-improve-heart-health\/\">lower blood pressure<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antihistamines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drugs for fungal infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drugs for fungal infections\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone using the medicine for recurrent heart palpitations should review the label&#8217;s list of potential adverse effects. Consult your doctor if you have any questions. Never alter the dosage of a drug or skip a dose without first consulting your doctor. Although heart palpitations might be a benign side effect, it is best to inquire about it if you feel it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Hormonal changes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hormonal changes due to menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause bring about <\/span>heart palpitations<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Women frequently experience heart palpitations during their periods or pregnancy. Your heart rate and the amount of blood flowing through your body rise throughout pregnancy in order to support your growing child. Heart palpitations are typical in pregnant women and are usually not dangerous. Essentially, hormonal heart rate variations are often transient and not a cause for concern.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Arrhythmias<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/what-are-life-threatening-arrhythmias\/\">Arrhythmias<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are deviations from the heart&#8217;s typical electrical impulse pattern that result in erratic heartbeats. While some arrhythmias are benign, others are not. These are dangerous and require proper medical treatment. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/be-heart-smart-5-things-you-should-know-about-atrial-fibrillation\/\">Atrial fibrillation<\/a>, which is one such example, can increase the risk of stroke, resulting in a rapid, and erratic heartbeat.

Issues With Heart Rhythm<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Heart palpitations<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be harmful depending on the underlying reason. <\/span>Arrhythmias<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a type of cardiac condition, are the root cause of some <\/span>heart palpitations<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While some <\/span>arrhythmias<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are not harmful, others result in severe consequences.

You should learn when to be concerned about visiting a doctor, as certain causes of <\/span>heart palpitations<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are serious, and certain are not. Hence, noticing the<\/span> heart palpitations symptoms<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> beforehand is vital to avoid any unwanted issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>When to consult a Doctor?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, brief, occasional palpitations don&#8217;t require evaluation.
