Rapid Heartbeat
Heart problems can cause a patient to notice changes in their heart rate. If the heart rate increases suddenly, despite low activity and steady emotions, it could be an important sign of ischemia.
Patients should try to get a rough count of their heart rate and speak with a medical professional about alarming numbers. Having a record of heart rate fluctuations can make it easier for doctors in emergency situations when an issue must be addressed quickly.
