Südamekloppimist

Südamekloppimist, a term derived from Estonian, refers to the sensation of one's heart beating unusually fast, hard, or irregularly. This feeling is often described as palpitations or a racing heart. While it can be a normal physiological response to certain stimuli, it can also be indicative of an underlying medical condition.

Common triggers for südamekloppimist include physical exertion, stress, anxiety, and fear. Caffeine, nicotine, and certain medications can also contribute to these sensations. In some cases, südamekloppimist may be a symptom of more serious issues such as arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms), thyroid problems, anemia, or heart disease.

If südamekloppimist occurs frequently, is accompanied by other symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, it is advisable to seek medical attention. A healthcare professional can evaluate the situation, determine the cause, and recommend appropriate management or treatment. Diagnosis often involves a review of medical history, a physical examination, and potentially tests like an electrocardiogram (ECG) or Holter monitor to assess heart activity. Understanding the cause is key to addressing the symptom effectively.
