[1:50 pm, 10/12/2025] Dr Felly: π WHAT DOES PALPITATION MEAN?
Palpitations are those sudden moments when your heart feels like it is beating too fast, too hard, fluttering, or jumping. Some people say it feels like the heart is βdancingβ or βvibratingβ inside the chest.
Others feel it in the neck or throat. It can stop you in your tracks because it feels strange and uncomfortable.
Even though it can be scary, many times it is not a sign of something serious, but it is still important to understand why it happens.
π WHY PALPITATIONS HAPPEN
Stress and strong emotions are one of the most common reasons.
When you are worried, scared, angry, or under pressure, your body releases chemicals that push your heart to beat faster.
Caffeine and energy drinks can also bring it on. Drinks like coffee, energy drinks, cola, and even some teas can overstimulate the heart.
Smoking and alcohol can have the same effect.
Hormone changes make a big difference too. During menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause, the body goes through shifts that can make the heartbeat feel different.
Some health conditions like low blood, dehydration, thyroid issues, fever, infections, or low blood sugar can make the heart work harder and cause palpitations.
Heart rhythm problems can also be responsible, especially when the episodes last long.
Medicines and substances can trigger it as well. Cold and flu medicines, asthma inhalers, weight-loss products, and certain supplements can make the heart beat faster or irregularly.
π WHAT TO DO WHEN IT HAPPENS
Start by slowing down your breathing. Taking slow, deep breaths helps calm your body and reduces the pressure on the heart.
Drink water because even mild dehydration can cause the heart to speed up. A simple glass of water can help settle things.
Cut down on stimulants if you notice they make it worse. Reducing coffee, energy drinks, smoking, and alcohol can make a big difference.
Rest for a moment. Sit down, loosen tight clothing, and try to relax your muscles. Many times the heart settles once your body calms down.
Pay attention to what triggers your palpitations. It may be stress, poor sleep, strong emotions, or certain foods and drinks.
Understanding your pattern helps you prevent it.
GET MEDICAL HELP if the palpitations last long, happen often, or come with chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or fainting.
These signs need proper evaluation to rule out heart rhythm problems.
