szívverésérzéseket

Szívverésérzések, known in English as palpitations, are sensations that your heart is beating unusually. This can feel like a racing heart, a pounding heart, skipped beats, or fluttering in the chest. While often alarming, palpitations are usually harmless and can be triggered by a variety of factors.

Common causes of szívverésérzések include emotional states like stress, anxiety, and fear. Physical exertion, caffeine intake, nicotine, and alcohol can also induce these sensations. Certain medications, such as decongestants, asthma inhalers, and some prescription drugs, may list palpitations as a side effect. Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy, menstruation, and menopause can also contribute. Dehydration and low blood sugar are other potential triggers.

In some instances, szívverésérzések can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. These might include heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), heart valve problems, or other cardiac issues. Thyroid imbalances, particularly hyperthyroidism, can also cause a rapid or irregular heartbeat. Anemia can lead to the heart beating faster to compensate for reduced oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood.

If palpitations are infrequent, short-lived, and accompanied by no other concerning symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, they are typically not a cause for significant worry. However, if they are persistent, severe, or occur alongside any of these other symptoms, it is important to seek medical evaluation to rule out any serious underlying conditions. A doctor can perform diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or Holter monitor, to assess heart function.
