Symptoms: Sweating | Tachycardia (rapid heartbeat)

Symptoms: Sweating

In the case of psychologically induced heart palpitations, sweating often occurs, which indicates very strong psychological tension and excitement. These can all be symptoms of anxiety, strong excitement or panic attacks, for example. Sweating can also occur with tachycardia of other causes.

They are also a sign that the body is in an exceptional situation and is not in good harmony. The reason for the sweating outbreaks with tachycardia is increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which puts the body on alert. If sweating and palpitations occur, this is usually very worrying for the affected patients but also for the surrounding area, since the increased sweating can also be perceived from the outside and is generally accompanied by a certain nervousness even among outsiders.

Symptoms: Headache

If a patient suffers from tachycardia, headaches are often accompanied by dizziness. A ringing in the ears can also occur. This is often the case when patients suffer from severe hypertension, i.e. high blood pressure.

The blood is then pumped through the vessels with such a high pressure that it is heard in the ear. The headaches also result from the high pressure on the vessels. Sometimes palpitations and headaches occur in attacks, and the symptoms last for several minutes to hours until they subside.

In any case, the cause of such complaints should be sought so that they can be treated. On the one hand, it is possible that, for example, there is an undiscovered high blood pressure or another disease of the cardiovascular system that needs to be treated. On the other hand, headaches and tachycardia are symptoms that can be perceived as very disturbing or even frightening. It should also be remembered that tachycardia and headaches can occur with a food intolerance such as lactose intolerance, and side effects of medication can also cause such symptoms.

Symptoms: Heart Stinging

A stabbing pain in the left chest is called a heart sting. Although the heart itself is not sensitive to pain, when the heart is diseased, a pain from our nervous system can be projected onto the left breast so that one has the feeling that the heart itself is painful. Many patients often have the feeling of a heart stabbing at rest, these are often just tensions or blockages in the area of the chest.

If the stabbing of the heart occurs with a tachycardia, this can indicate heart disease and should be clarified by a doctor. Above all, heart stabbing and palpitations under stress is a sign that the heart is not working properly and is overtaxed by the stress. Cardiac stabbing also occurs during a heart attack and is then a signal that the heart muscle is not being supplied with sufficient oxygen.

This can be more frequent in everyday life in the case of coronary heart disease, although heart stabbing may occur with palpitations during physical exertion. The coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle may then be so narrowed that a good supply of oxygen to the muscle cells is no longer guaranteed and the patient suffers a lack of oxygen in his heart during physical exertion. It goes without saying that with such a problem, the pumping capacity of the ventricle can also quickly be severely restricted, which is why the tachycardia occurs as a mechanism of compensation. The heart tries to compensate for the lack of pumping power by pumping faster.
