Razbijanje srca v mirovanju

Customer question:

It breaks my heart when I'm at rest. What could that mean? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Parripits, or the feeling of a fast heartbeat at rest, can have a variety of causes, from physiological to potentially serious medical problems. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is recommended that you consult your doctor, who will perform appropriate tests and determine the cause.

Below are some possible causes of palpitations at rest:

• Stress and anxiety: emotional stress or anxiety are common causes of increased heart rate.

• Dehydration: lack of fluid can affect the cardiovascular system and cause an increase in heart rate.

• Caffeine or stimulants: excessive consumption of caffeine or other stimulants can cause an increase in heart rate.

• Lack of sleep: not getting enough sleep can affect your heart rate and cause your heart to feel racing.

• Hormonal changes, especially in women, can affect heart rate.

• Thyroid diseases: thyroid gland disorders, such as hyperthyroidism, can cause an increase in heart rate.

• Arrhythmias: irregularities in the heart rhythm, called arrhythmias, can cause the sensation of an irregular heartbeat.

• Heart disease: certain heart diseases, such as heart failure or coronary artery disease, can cause a fast or irregular heartbeat.

If you experience these symptoms, you must consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor will perform a thorough examination, including a medical history, a physical exam, and any additional tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or blood hormone levels, to determine the cause of your problems. Do not ignore these symptoms; timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent more severe health problems.
