Why do I feel palpitations after having a heart stent procedure?

Palpitations after coronary stent surgery may be caused by multiple factors:

1. The body's adaptation process after stent implantation, or progression of the original heart disease, may also lead to palpitations.
2. It may be due to restenosis or thrombosis within the stent, causing obstruction of blood flow and affecting cardiac perfusion.
3. Postoperative psychological stress reactions, anxiety, or emotional fluctuations may lead to excessive activation of the sympathetic nervous system, causing increased heart rate and palpitations.
4. Arrhythmia, angina pectoris, mental disorders such as anxiety or depression, and hypoglycemia can also cause palpitations.

If palpitations persist or are accompanied by symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath, timely medical attention is advised to assess cardiac status through electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and other necessary evaluations. Treatment plans should be adjusted accordingly under medical guidance. Patients are advised to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, including balanced nutrition, moderate exercise, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol consumption. Additionally, maintaining emotional well-being and receiving appropriate psychological counseling can help alleviate palpitations.
