When we see someone we like, our hearts flutter and we often describe this as a heart-pounding feeling. However, this "heart-pounding feeling" made Miss Huang miserable. What's going on?
Heartbeat feeling?
No, it could be a disease
33-year-old Miss Huang, once invited to dinner, when talking with Mr. Zhang at the same table, suddenly her heart began to beat "fluttering", Miss Huang immediately thought to herself, "Is this the feeling of heartbeat?" However, this time, the "palpitations" came and disappeared quickly, so Miss Huang did not take this matter seriously.
"Heartbeat" may be a disease
However, in the next few months, even if there was no date, Miss Huang still frequently had this "palpitation" symptom, still a sudden stop, but the relief time was gradually extended, accompanied by symptoms of mild chest tightness and discomfort, and the quality of spirit and sleep gradually deteriorated. When the "heartbeat feeling" appeared again, miss Huang, who was troubled, immediately came to the emergency medicine department of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (hereinafter referred to as the Fifth Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University), and through the electrocardiogram examination, Miss Huang was paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and after the physical stimulation was ineffective, Miss Huang gradually recovered sinus rhythm through drug treatment.
wary!
Arrhythmias tend to be regardless of age
Ding Yuexia, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiology of the Fifth Hospital of Guangdong Medical College, introduced that in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is one of the most common types of arrhythmias, which are mainly manifested as palpitations, showing sudden stops, some patients will have chest tightness and other discomforts, and young people or the elderly may have seizures. Current treatments include general therapy, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, electrical cardioversion, and catheter ablation.
Considering that Miss Huang's symptoms were repeated and the number of attacks increased significantly, which seriously affected her daily life, after full communication with Miss Huang and her family, Miss Huang chose to be hospitalized for further intracardiac electrophysiological examination. After careful study, the medical team of Professor Lu Caiyi of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the Fifth Hospital of Guangdong Medical College decided to perform the lower atrioventricular knot slow path modification surgery on Miss Huang. The operation had small wounds, rapid recovery, no subcutaneous hematomas, etc. On the 3rd day after the operation, Miss Huang was patiently cared for by the cardiovascular medical staff and was successfully discharged from the hospital.
What should I do if I have a palpitation crisis?
Experts from the Department of Cardiology of the Fifth Hospital of Guangdong Medical College said that palpitations are a feeling of strong heart, irregular beating, and people are uncomfortable, often manifested as a rapid "fluttering" beating in the chest, a heavy blow to the chest or neck, etc. Some people also experience chest pain, chest tightness, sweating, dyspnea, dizziness, weakness, edema and other symptoms.
Symptoms of palpitations should be consulted promptly
Patients with paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia may not have symptoms such as palpitations for a long time, but once the symptoms appear, they do not need to be too alarmed, and can first do relevant physical stimulation on their own, including deep breathing, cough, vomiting reflex, pressing the eyeball, etc., and actively seek diagnosis and treatment from professional medical institutions, conduct professional examinations in time, and determine whether the next step of diagnosis and treatment is needed. At the same time, if there is an underlying disease, such as heart disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, anemia, etc., be sure to follow the doctor's advice and actively treat the primary disease that causes palpitations.
