Patients with aortic sclerosis may experience palpitations when hungry, but this is generally not caused by aortic sclerosis itself. Palpitations typically occur due to low blood sugar resulting from hunger and may be accompanied by symptoms such as cold sweats and hand tremors. Additionally, patients with endocrine disorders may also experience palpitations after becoming hungry.
