Palpitations are feelings that your heart experiences due to a skipped beat or an extra beat. They are typically harmless, but they can be worrisome and may indicate a more serious underlying condition. Let's look at the different symptoms of heart palpitation.

What are The Symptoms of Palpitation?

During heart palpitations, a skipped beat often signifies an early contraction, where the heart contracts before the ventricles are adequately filled with blood, resulting in a subsequent beat feeling stronger as the extra volume of blood is expelled to maintain rhythm. Other symptoms of heart palpitation include:

  • Heart racing/pounding
  • Missing a beat
  • Having an extra beat
  • Heart flutters
  • Fainting
  • Dizziness
  • Unusual sweating
  • Lightheadedness
  • Chest pains

You can feel palpitations symptoms in your chest, neck and throat as well. Symptoms of palpitations are usually similar and related to an abnormal heart rhythm if you have:

  • Heart disease
  • Significant risk factors for heart disease.
  • An abnormal heart valve.

Conclusion

Symptoms related to heart palpitations are usually harmless and typically resolve on their own. However, some palpitations can cause serious medical problems. In that case, it is important to consult a doctor who will guide you in dealing with the condition. Moreover, consider securing a health insurance policy to help cover the cost of diagnosis and treatment.
