Palpitations Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Palpitations are the feeling of your heart racing, pounding, fluttering or skipping beats. They are often harmless – due to stress, caffeine or lack of sleep – but can sometimes signal an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia), thyroid problems or anaemia. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, palpitations are evaluated with ECG and tests and treated according to the cause.
Understanding the Condition
Why Does the Heart Race?
The heart’s rhythm is controlled by electrical signals. Stress, caffeine, fever, thyroid overactivity and anaemia can speed it up. Some people have rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation, where the heart beats irregularly and raises the risk of stroke. An ECG during symptoms helps find the cause.
Common Causes
- Stress, anxiety and lack of sleep
- Too much tea, coffee or energy drinks
- Overactive thyroid
- Anaemia and dehydration
- Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmia)
- Some medicines
