Physiological Causes of Heart Pain:
1. Intense exercise and emotional excitement
Heart palpitations are generally caused by temporary accumulation or restlessness due to inadequate blood supply to the heart. Therefore, intense exercise or large emotional fluctuations can cause these symptoms to occur, but they usually last for a short time, so the problem is not usually serious.
2. Mental tension and high stress
Mental stress can also lead to inadequate blood supply to the heart. Due to high stress in life, diet and sleep are severely affected, leading to inadequate blood supply to the heart, resulting in heart palpitations. If this condition continues to occur, it may also lead to angina and other heart diseases.
3. Smoking, drinking alcohol, consuming strong tea or coffee
Diet is also one of the causes of heart palpitations. Some foods contain a high amount of stimulating substances, such as caffeine, which can stimulate the body and nervous system. Therefore, when consuming these foods, the heart may be stimulated, leading to heart palpitations.
