10 Enlarged Heart Symptoms
Symptom #7: Palpitations
In normal circumstances, you don’t notice your heartbeats. This is because your heart rhythm is near constant and in tune with your activities. Palpitations mean that your heartbeats are strong or rapid enough to be heard or noticed. So, if you feel that your heart skips some beats or pounds, you have palpitations.
If you get occasional palpitations but no other symptoms, do not worry. Most of us experience palpitations due to stress, anxiety, exercise, caffeine, smoking, hormonal changes, fever, low blood sugar, or agitation. These kinds of palpitations do not require treatment. However, if you have palpitations in addition to other symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or edema, you need to undergo a checkup immediately.
