When Your Heart Is Normal but You Still Feel Palpitations
의료 감수 Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD
If tests say your heart is normal but you keep having palpitations, the problem may not be your heart but your autonomic nervous system.
It is the autonomic nervous system that regulates the heartbeat. When this regulation tilts toward tension, palpitations and a tight, stifling feeling can appear even when there is nothing wrong with the heart.
- It worsens in particular situations (tension, fatigue, nighttime)
- Along with the palpitations, your hands and feet are cold or your sleep is shallow
If this is your pattern, it's worth looking at the balance of your autonomic nervous system together. That said, if you haven't yet had your heart examined, I recommend doing that first.
