Doctors Near You for Palpitation in Mlada boleslav

Palpitation refers to the sensation of feeling a rapid, strong, or irregular heartbeat that is often noticeable and can be felt in the chest, throat, or neck. This feeling can range from occasional and mild to frequent and intense, and it may be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort. Palpitations can have various causes. They may be triggered by non-cardiac factors such as anxiety, stress, or excessive consumption of stimulants like caffeine or nicotine. Physical exertion or changes in body position can also lead to transient palpitations. Cardiovascular conditions, such as arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) like atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, are more serious causes of palpitations. Other potential causes include thyroid disorders, electrolyte imbalances, or heart conditions like valve disorders or heart failure. Treatment for palpitations depends on the underlying cause and severity of the symptoms. For palpitations related to lifestyle factors or temporary conditions, addressing the contributing factors-such as reducing caffeine intake, managing stress, or avoiding stimulants-can help alleviate the symptoms. If palpitations are due to an underlying heart condition, treatment may involve medications to manage the heart rhythm or address other cardiovascular issues. In some cases, procedures like electrical cardioversion or catheter ablation may be necessary to correct abnormal heart rhythms. For persistent or severe palpitations, consulting a healthcare provider is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan tailored to individual needs and health status.
