Palpitation syndrome refers to a condition in which patients experience noticeable rapid and forceful heartbeats, enhanced cardiac pulsation, or general discomfort. It may be caused by various factors, including but not limited to arrhythmias (such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, sinus bradycardia or tachycardia), anemia, and hyperthyroidism. Symptoms of palpitation syndrome are diverse and may include palpitations, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath. These symptoms can significantly affect patients' daily lives and work performance. Treatment of palpitation syndrome requires identifying the underlying cause and implementing targeted therapeutic measures such as medication or surgical intervention, supplemented by comprehensive approaches including psychological therapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Patients should seek medical attention promptly to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
