What to do if you have palpitations

The specific manifestations of palpitations are irregular heart rate, panic, chest tightness and shortness of breath, etc. In daily life, many diseases can cause palpitations in patients, so at this time, patients should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time. After palpitations occur, patients should not only cooperate with doctors to take medication to control the condition, but also scientifically and rationally match their diet in life. So what specific treatment measures should patients take after palpitations occur?

1. Go to the hospital for examination

First of all, when palpitations occur, the first thing to consider is that it is caused by arrhythmia. At this time, you should go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram to see if it is caused by arrhythmia. If necessary, drug treatment should be carried out. However, it is worth mentioning that this kind of medicine has a relatively large stimulation to the heart, so it is recommended that you should follow the doctor's advice and do not buy or take medicine privately, because this situation can easily lead to adverse consequences.

2. Scientific diet

If the palpitations are caused by chronic diseases, you should pay attention to the adjustment of diet and other aspects. Because irregular diet can easily lead to chronic diseases such as hypoglycemia, anemia, hypertension, physical weakness, etc., which can lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart, patients are advised to eat on time, not to be picky about food, and try to avoid foods such as tobacco and alcohol. In addition, try to eat healthy food to avoid accumulation of toxins in the body, and eat less high-calorie food.

3. Get enough sleep

Lack of sleep can easily cause dizziness when you wake up. In addition, staying up late is extremely harmful to the body. Because you can't rest in time, the internal organs of the body are in an excited state, which leads to the body's inability to eliminate toxins in time. Toxins will accumulate in the body, causing great physical harm. If the palpitations become more serious, it may also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as angina pectoris. Therefore, patients are advised to pay great attention to sleep and never ignore it.

4. Proper exercise

Many cases of palpitations may be caused by strenuous exercise. Since the heart cannot bear the intense exercise, it may lead to dizziness, violent heartbeats, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to exercise within your ability and not to be unrealistic. In addition, before exercising, it is best to make adequate preparations so that you can exercise well without causing harm to your body.

5. Keep a calm mood

Mood is also a factor that affects the body. Many patients with palpitations suffer from mental stimulation, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the heart, resulting in dizziness and other conditions. In addition, people who are prone to irritability are much more likely to develop cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than ordinary people. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone keep their mood calm, which is also a guarantee for their own health.

At present, the mechanism of palpitations is not completely clear. It is usually related to one's own heartbeat, pulse changes, etc., because it is caused by excessive heart movement. It is usually caused by the heart's emergency response to the outside world, which increases the stroke volume and cardiac output, thus causing palpitations. Therefore, when dealing with this problem, as long as the external factors that cause palpitations are treated, the palpitations will basically be relieved, and the heart health can be maintained well.
