10 Symptoms of Hypertension
Symptom #5: Abnormal Heartbeat
Our hearts are pumping away all day, every day, and they usually pump at a fairly regular beat. Our hearts run at a steady rhythm as blood is first pumped from one chamber to another, and then pumped throughout the rest of the body. Some conditions, however, can cause the heartbeat to become irregular, and hypertension is one of them.
An abnormal heartbeat is often experienced as a pounding sensation in the chest. It can be quite uncomfortable and is sometimes quite alarming. If you are experiencing such sensations then you should arrange to see a doctor as soon as you can, regardless of the suspected cause.
