6. Palpitations or Irregular Heartbeat
Do you feel like your heart is skipping beats or beating too fast? Occasional palpitations are normal, especially after exercise or coffee. However, when they become frequent, they deserve attention. Worrying palpitations include:
Anatomy
- Very rapid heartbeat at rest
- Sensation that the heart “stops”
- Accompanied by chest pain
Our team of cardiologists uses advanced technology to evaluate heart rhythm and determine if there are any irregularities that require treatment.
7. Pain that spreads to the arms, neck, or jaw
Did you know that heart pain doesn’t always stay in the chest? It often radiates to other parts of the body, especially the left arm, although it can also affect the right. This radiating pain can manifest as:
- Left arm (more common)
- Neck and jaw
- Back, between the shoulder blades
- Stomach area
Many people don’t associate these pains with heart problems. That’s why it’s crucial to pay attention to these symptoms, especially if they appear during physical exertion.
