What's wrong with palpitations, shortness of breath, and weakness in the limbs?

In daily life, we often hear people sighing and saying that their limbs are weak and they feel listless. At the same time, they feel panicky and don’t know what’s going on. These symptoms do not last for a period of time but appear from time to time. Since we don’t understand the situation, we don’t know how to recover or regulate it. Below we provide some references for the causes of panic, shortness of breath, and weakness in the limbs, which may give us some understanding.

Everyone has experienced palpitations, shortness of breath, and general weakness, and many patients feel anxious and worried. Occasional symptoms of palpitations, shortness of breath, and general weakness may be due to lack of sleep, smoking, drinking too much tea or coffee, and poor rest. No treatment is required, and the symptoms can be relieved by just getting more rest. If the symptoms persist for a long time and are accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, it is considered to be caused by organic heart disease.

Secondly, palpitations and shortness of breath may also be a reaction to coronary heart disease, which is an organic heart disease, mainly ischemic heart disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis. Patients with coronary heart disease are facing the threat of myocardial ischemia and necrosis at any time. Mild cases may experience symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, and general weakness, while severe cases may experience angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and even sudden death.

besides. Myocardial ischemia is one of the important reasons causing patients' palpitations, shortness of breath and general weakness. Myocardial ischemia greatly affects the function of the heart, causing weak heartbeats, panic attacks, greatly reduced blood transfusion to the whole body, and weakness in the limbs. The coronary artery is the main artery that supplies blood to the heart. Coronary artery stenosis or spasm can easily cause myocardial ischemia.

In addition, patients with viral myocarditis may also experience symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, and general weakness, which are mostly related to myocarditis leading to ventricular hypertrophy and impaired heart function. The symptoms are particularly obvious in patients with heart failure. At this time, the symptoms can be relieved by promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening myocardial nutrition, and controlling blood pressure.

Through the introduction of the above causes, we know that when symptoms of palpitations and shortness of breath occur occasionally, it may be just poor sleep or related to smoking and tea, and will generally disappear after rest. Of course, if it lasts for a long time and is accompanied by rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness in the limbs, then you should go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations, such as cardiac color ultrasound, electrocardiogram, etc., to prevent it from happening.
