How heart palpitations can be caused by stress
Palpitations are rapid, irregular or violent heartbeats that can come on suddenly, especially during stressful moments. Stress can activate the nervous system, releasing hormones such as adrenaline and causing the heart to beat faster. This reaction is a natural part of our body's "fight-or-flight" mechanism, but if stress persists, palpitations can be a regular occurrence and can be very annoying. Want to know how stress causes palpitations and what you can do about it? More info...
How stress can cause palpitations:
- Fight-or-flight response: Stress causes adrenaline to be released, making the heart beat faster and more vigorously.
- Hyperventilation: When stressed, you often breathe faster, which upsets the oxygen-carbon dioxide balance and can cause palpitations.
- Tension in the body: Muscle tension and increased blood pressure due to stress put stress on the heart, which can trigger palpitations.
- Excessive alertness: Prolonged stress can cause you to be on constant alert, which puts more strain on the heart.
