Jerks, heart beats strongly at rest. Reasons for what to do

Normally, a person at rest should not feel or hear a heartbeat. However, if this occurs, it is advisable to consult a specialist. In this case, small uncomfortable tremors in the chest may be felt, accompanied by a pause. This indicates that extrasystole appeared.

Definition of disease

Pulses in the heart may indicate the development of extrasystole, presented in the form of an extraordinary heartbeat, premature relative to the main rhythm of the organ.

This problem is functional and organic. Basically, the first type of pathology is widespread, which appears in the absence of more serious lesions of the internal organ.

Extrasystole is a harmless arrhythmia, since it does not affect life expectancy and overall well-being. However, if the problem is organic, more serious complications may appear, provoking fatal arrhythmias.

In this regard, ventricular extrasystole is a more dangerous problem than atrioventricular and atrial.

Signs of the development of the problem may not appear, especially if the pathology is formed due to organic heart disease.

The problem is often accompanied by the following symptoms:

• interruptions in cardiac activity;
• strong blows and tremors in the heart;
• a feeling of fading in the chest region.

A functional problem often develops in the presence of neuroses or a malfunction in the activity of the nervous autonomic system.

Additionally, the following symptoms occur:

• high sweat separation;
• feeling of lack of air, trembling in the body, sleep disturbance and fear;
• redness of the facial area or pallor of the skin;
• hot flashes;
• anxiety.

If a strong heartbeat occurs intermittently, it is recommended to check your blood pressure. If it is high, then it is a factor in the occurrence of a rapid heart rate. In this case, it is advisable to consult with a specialist so that he prescribes medications that normalize blood pressure.

The reasons why the heart begins to beat violently at rest

Resting heart shocks mean that a functional failure has occurred in the body in the cardiovascular or endocrine systems. Therefore, it is required to consult with a specialist to establish the true reasons.

Symptoms of the following may occur if your heart is pounding and heavy:

• pain in the heart;
• dizziness;
• loss of orientation in space;
• noise in ears.

If such signs appear only 1 time, this is not considered a reason for the development of severe pathologies.

Often, a strong heartbeat occurs in those who lead a sedentary lifestyle, spending a lot of time lying or sitting. Lack of physical training contributes to the occurrence of tremors in the body and an increased heart rate. If the symptoms are supplemented by a high body temperature, hospitalization is required.

A strong heartbeat at rest is the cause of the development of cardiac pathologies, as well as chronic and acute insufficiency. This can occur outdoors and indoors. Also, symptoms appear with a sharp rise from a bed or chair.

For preventive purposes, it is necessary to perform gymnastics, exercises, and also drink up to 2 liters of liquid per day. Additionally, it is recommended to change your eating habits by including fresh fruits with green vegetables in the diet. This will prevent seizures from occurring.

The clinical picture will depend on the condition of the body, gender and age. In this regard, tremors of the hands with tremors, high heart rate, sweating, rapid fatigue, weakness and shortness of breath may occur.

If the problem is not triggered by physical activity or emotional stress, the following factors may affect this:

• high heart need;
• high automatism of the heart;
• lack of fresh air;
• pathology of the sinus node.

If the problem is complemented by shortness of breath and severe pain in the chest region, then there are problems with the cardiovascular system. In case of a failure in the endocrine system, a strong heartbeat is complemented by dryness in the mouth, tremors and tremors. With mental abnormalities, uncontrollable panic conditions and darkening in the eyes occur.

When calling an ambulance, it is necessary to clearly describe the signs of the problem, since a heart attack can be confused with panic attacks. Yeast with a fast heartbeat can occur in pregnant women, which is considered a normal reaction in the early stages. Otherwise, you need to consult with your doctor.

Heart rhythm problems can occur not only with hypertension or hypotension, but also with normal blood pressure.

The reasons are the following diseases:

• anemia;
• arrhythmia;
• hypoxia;
• deformation of the heart;
• pathological failure in cardiac activity;
• heart disease;
• malfunction of the endocrine system;
• failure in the functioning of the nervous system.

  

To alleviate the condition when a strong heartbeat occurs, it is recommended to do the following:

1. Introduce fresh air into the room.
2. If you have a scarf around your neck, remove it.
3. Wipe the face and neck area with a damp cold towel.
4. Lie on the bed.
5. With the frequent appearance of such symptoms, take the medicinal formulations prescribed by the doctor.

Causes during pregnancy

At the stage of pregnancy, a woman's body is rebuilt and adapts to a new position. Therefore, in a given period of time, the pulse may be fast, and the norm will be 100 beats per minute. Often, the heart functions in a similar manner with the onset of the third trimester. This is not considered a pathology, and these signs do not mean the presence of dangerous health problems.

Resting heart shocks often occur at night, contributing to many dangers, especially during pregnancy. In the evening, such factors provoke unnecessary anxiety and the development of panic states. The average person in this case can use sedatives, but this option is not suitable for pregnant women.

To relieve symptoms and restore your heart rate, you need to calm down and take a deep breath initially. Then you can drink 200 ml of cold water and wash your face. This will restore your heart rate. If the attacks are systematic, you should consult a gynecologist.

When to see a doctor?

If self-help methods do not relieve symptoms, you should seek medical help.

In this case, it is necessary to consult a specialist if a strong heartbeat is accompanied by the following symptoms:

• headache and eye pressure;
• uncontrollable panic states;
• increased sweating;
• squeezing or pain in the chest;
• severe dryness in the mouth and sinuses;
• severe breakdown.

Also, the reason may be a rapid pulse at night, when a person awakens from tremors and frequent heartbeats. In this case, it is advisable to pay attention to such accompanying signs as shortness of breath, darkening in the eyes, regular heart rhythm failure and pain in the heart.

It is required to immediately call an ambulance if, with a rapid heartbeat, pain occurs between the shoulder blades or in the chest region, as well as cold sweating.

If attacks occur at night, swelling and cardiac asthma may occur due to stagnation of blood in the veins of the lungs. In this case, pink foam is released from the oral cavity, a rapid pulse occurs with tremors, shortness of breath and suffocation. If these symptoms appear, the patient may lose consciousness.

Is there a danger?

Resting heart pushes have no serious consequences. However, if attacks occur regularly, heart failure, changes in atrial configuration, and atrial fibrillation may occur.

Diagnostics

Beats in the heart may indicate the development of extrasystoles only after taking a history and physical examination. In this case, it is required to clarify how often interruptions in cardiac activity occur, the interval of their occurrence (for example, in the morning time or at night), as well as circumstances that provoke the disease (for example, physical activity with worries or a condition rest).

During the collection of anamnesis, it is very important to take into account the presence of vascular and cardiac pathologies in the patient or previous diseases that have complications on the heart. The indications make it possible to preset the type of extrasystole with frequency and period the appearance of unplanned tremors, as well as the sequence of strikes relative to normal contractions hearts.

For laboratory examination, you will need the following:

• an analysis that calculates the concentration of thyroid hormones;
• biochemical and clinical blood tests.

Based on the results of laboratory examination, it is permissible to establish a factor in the development of the disease, which is not associated with cardiac pathologies.

Instrumental examination:

Study type	Features of the
Bicycle ergometry	It is a diagnostic method that is based on recording an ECG and blood pressure with increasing physical exertion and at rest.
Daily ECG monitoring	With the help of a portable device, an ECG will be recorded for 24 hours. Thanks to this method, the recorded electrocardiographic curve will remain in the memory of the device, even if the patient engages in daily physical activities. Throughout the day, the patient should keep a list of physical activity, medication, as well as the occurrence of pain or other sensations in the heart area. To register rare or irregular extrasystoles, a fragmented type of monitoring is used.
Treadmill test	It is presented in the form of a functional examination with a load, which consists of recording an ECG and blood pressure while walking on a treadmill treadmill.
ECG	It is a non-invasive method for examining the heart, which graphically reproduces the recorded bioelectric potentials of an internal organ with several cutaneous electrodes. Thanks to this method, you can recognize the frequency and nature of extrasystoles. Since the latter can occur during exercise, an ECG performed at rest may not record them.

The treadmill test with bicycle ergometry reveals a problem that manifests itself exclusively during active physical activity, which is not recorded during a conventional ECG or daily monitoring.

To diagnose concomitant heart disease, standard and transesophageal echocardiography with MRI is required.

Treatment

Resting heart shocks should be treated taking into account developmental factors, types of abnormal heartbeats, and the location of the ectopic focus of excitation.

Asymptomatic single extrasystoles, which are of a physiological nature, do not need to be treated. If a problem arises with the development of pathologies associated with the digestive, nervous and endocrine systems, it is necessary to treat the underlying disease. If medication has become a factor in the occurrence of tremors in the heart, they must be abandoned.

For the treatment of neurogenic extrasystole, the doctor may prescribe multivitamins with tranquilizers, antiarrhythmics and sedatives:

Means	Active ingredient	Influence
Amiodarone	Amiodarone	It is a stabilizing drug that facilitates cardiac activity, lowering blood pressure and normalizing contractions.
Verapamil	Verapamil	Helps relieve symptoms using an individual dose. It is used in complex therapeutic treatment.
Metoprolol	Metoprolol	Suitable for a long treatment course, providing antiarrhythmic, antianginal and antihypertensive effects.
Novocainamide	Procainamide	Reduces the excitability of the myocardium, normalizing the activity of the cardiovascular system.

Sedatives are prescribed to normalize the condition with vascular dystonia, stabilize the nervous system and reduce the frequency of seizures. Antiarrhythmics must be selected individually, since they normalize the heart rate.

The treatment course of chronic extrasystole lasts from several months to several years. The doctor may prescribe antiarrhythmics for life.

In order to prevent the development of this problem, as well as the main pathologies of the cardiovascular system, the following is necessary:

• Perform moderate physical activity. It is recommended to alternate training with rest. It is advisable to practice swimming or Nordic walking.
• It is necessary to strengthen the heart muscle. For these purposes, it is necessary to perform physiotherapy.
• Take medications prescribed by your doctor. You also need to give up bad habits.
• Stabilize your diet. The menu should be balanced and contain ingredients that are good for the heart. In this case, it is necessary to use pomegranate with apple, avocado and oily fish of red varieties. In this case, it is required to exclude salting, fried foods and animal fat from the diet.
• Emotional stability is required. In this case, it is recommended to get away from any stressful situations, to rest and relax more.

Secondary preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of seizures should preferably be carried out under the regular supervision of a cardiologist. You can also consult with other specialists who will prescribe recommendations for maintaining emotional balance and preventing the occurrence of a number of diseases.

Extrasystole provokes light tremors in the chest, accompanied by pauses. If such discomfort in the region of the heart appears at rest, it is recommended to consult a doctor, as this may indicate the presence of more serious pathologies. The doctor will be able to prescribe the appropriate medications to help normalize the state of health.
