The weather is stuffy, and sometimes I pat my chest. Why does my heart beat faster, and it will be all right after a while? Is this ventricular fibrillation?

What is the cause of chest tightness and rapid heartbeat is the cause of chest tightness and palpitation, which is accompanied by this state of rapid heartbeat, rather than an obvious intermittent state. This situation depends on what causes the heart to beat faster and chest tightness, for example, because of drinking a lot, I feel flustered after drinking and then feel a little chest tightness. Or because of the rapid heartbeat after strenuous exercise, but there is mild chest tightness. If this kind of chest tightness is just a rapid heartbeat, it will disappear after relief, and it is very light, then there may not be too many problems. But if the heart beats faster, the chest tightness will be obvious together, and the faster the heart beats, the more obvious the chest tightness will be. In this case, there may be some myocardial ischemia diseases, such as coronary heart disease, which is obvious because of the increase of oxygen consumption.

Therefore, if you have chest tightness symptoms due to the rapid heartbeat, you should go to the hospital for examination. The most basic thing is to do an electrocardiogram, which is to see if there is myocardial ischemia when the heart beats faster. If you don't usually have an accelerated heartbeat, you can do a stress test, that is, a treadmill exercise test and an electrocardiogram to see if there is myocardial ischemia after the accelerated heartbeat. If so, there may be coronary heart disease and further examination is needed. If there is still no heartbeat acceleration, but there are chest tightness symptoms and ECG changes, but the patient still has other cardiovascular risk factors, such as hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, or carotid atherosclerosis, further examination is still needed.
