10 Causes of Heart Palpitations
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #3: Stress
Life is not always as easy as we would like it to be. Events around us can cause us to become stressed; our bodies then strive to deal with whatever is concerning us. Adrenalin is secreted into our bloodstreams, making it difficult for us to relax and causing our hearts to work harder at pumping blood around our bodies.
This heavy pumping of the blood leads to heart palpitations, which are a fairly common symptom of stress. Usually, we will calm down and our heartbeats will return to normal levels once the cause of stress has subsided. If heart palpitations are persistent even after the stress has disappeared, then you should seek medical help.
