What causes a person to sweat if they have ventricular fibrillation?
148506
I would guess it's a side effect of sympathetic tone.  The sympathetic nervous system attempts to speed up the heart rhythm and make it contract with more force.  The sweat glands also respond to this same kind of sympathetic signal.

If the heart beats too fast (rapid pulse) it can lead to Atrial fibrillation. Underlying causes of atrial fibrillation and flutter include dysfunction of the sinus node (the "natural pacemaker" of the heart) and a number of heart and lung disorders, including coronary artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, mitral valve disorders, pericarditis, and others. Hyperthyroidism, hypertension, and other diseases can cause arrhythmia's, as can recent heavy alcohol use (binge drinking). Some cases of atrial fibrillation or flutter occur in the setting of a heart attack or soon after surgery on the heart.

That's tachycardia.  It's too fast.  Go see a doctor.  Does it occur after you do intense exercise or does it occur out of nowhere?  Is it a common thing for you?  If you have atrial fibrillation, you could throw a clot to your brain and get a stroke.  Find out the reason you have the fast heart rate.  This is no joke.  Go see a physician.\n\nNormal heart rate should be 60-100 for an adult.

You probably have PVCs/PACs, I've had them for a few years and I hate those @@#$@ so much. They feel like an extra beat, flip flop, or fast double beat right? I think its recommended that you be evaluated by a cardiologist to make sure you dont have any heart defects. The vast majority of cases though either just happen for no apparent reason, anxiety/stress related, potassium/calcium/magnesium imbalance in your blood, or a thyroid problem like they were saying. My doc theyre probably anxiety related too and I didn't think I'm anxious either. A lot of people say beta blockers work for them as well and my doc put me on one but it didn't do anything for me. Never tried an antidepressant/anxiety drug but some people say those have helped them, so go for it if you want. Mine seem to be triggered when I'm under stress, drink, dont get enough sleep, or drink too much caffeine. Exercise seems to reduce them for me, but everyone's triggers are different. You can check out the heart forum at medhelp.org a lot of people have them and have all kinds of weird tips and tricks you can try. I think the best thing to do if they really bother you is keep track of what triggers them and then avoid those triggers if practical.

See a doctor please, it's probably harmless but it could be a sign of an electrolyte imbalance or neurological disorder.  It could also just be stress or muscle tension,  get lots of sleep and eat a balanced diet.

Although there is no known cause for Neurocardiogenic syncope, it is easily treated. At the first signs of fainting, one should lie down immediately, until the symptoms disappear.  The person fainting may die if not allowed to lie down, but only in rare cases (4). Increased salt intake and water consumption are other ways to treat this condition. Food and drink such as soup, Gatorade, frozen meals, chips, and pretzels are excellent sources of sodium. Other treatments include taking shorter showers with cooler water temperatures, avoiding saunas or hot tubs, avoiding alcohol, and reducing caffeine intake (1).\n\nIf these treatments do not work, the next option is medication.  Several types of medication are used to treat Neurocardiogenic Syncope, but no one medicine is intended for this use. The types of medication include beta-blockers (Toprol or Atenolol), fludrocortison (Florinef), disopyramide (Norpace), and sertraline (Zoloft) (1). The type of medicine prescribed varies, depending on the patient. Different types of medicine are used to treat patients whose blood pressure drops, while others are used for those whose heart rate drops. In the case that none of the above treatments are effective, a pacemaker may be implanted.

The depression might be making you more tired than usual. However, it might be a side effect of the medication. Many times..medication has to be adjusted in dosage or changed all together if the side effects aren't tolerable for the patient. Please speak to your prescribing doctor about this.\n\nI had a client taking Effexor, and she often complained that she would have frequent sweating.

EVERYONE SWEATS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT DURING EXERCISE. SWEATING VERY LITTLE MAY BE NORMAL FOR SOME PEOPLE. A BETTER SIGN THAT ITS A GOOD WORK OUT IS IF YOU FIND TALKING AS YOU EXERCISE A LITTLE DIFFICULT, THEN YOUR GETTING A HEART PUMPING, MUSCLE BUILDING WORK OUT.

No, this is not uncommon at all. When you sustain any type of injury, your heart beats faster and as a result, you start to sweat. This happens more often with blood wounds, because typically when you bleed, or see blood, your heart tends to beat faster then say, if you bruised your knee or something. So it's not "gross or rank", you just have a very up-to-speed heart. Hope this helps!

This answer really depends on your age, sex and risk factors.  If you are young <35 its probably nothing serious but could be your thyroid, panic attack or rarely a heart problem.  If you are older, obese, smoke etc it could be a sign of something more serious in the heart and should be further evaluated by a doctor.  Bottom line if you have already been evaluated by a doctor and had a normal EKG its probably nothing but if you are still nervous you can ask for an event monitor.

Depends on what you mean by palpitations. If it is just an awareness of the regular beating of your heart, but the rhythm is regular (maybe fast), then it might just be anxiety. If it is a missed beat every now and again, it might be a premature ventricular beat, which is usually not dangerous, but you might need a 24 hour Holter monitor to determine how frequently it happens. Sometimes, cutting down on coffee might reduce the symptoms. Write to me if you need any more information.

Maybe the heat from the shower causes you to sweat, in a kind of dehydration.

Not unless you have associated symptoms.Heart palpitations can be caused by numerous things,some being:\nExercise\nAnxiety, stress, fear \nFever\nCaffeine, nicotine, cocaine, diet pills \nOveractive thyroid\nAnemia \nThere are of course many others. As someone who suffers from an Arrhythmia,try some of these.I rule out coffee,chocolate,coca-cola, pepsi,and smoking.These do  help.\nReducing stress and anxiety can help lessen your heart palpitations. Try breathing exercises or deep relaxation (a step-by-step process of tensing and then relaxing every muscle group in your body) at the time of your heartbeat sensations. Also, consider practicing yoga or tai chi on a regular basis to reduce the frequency of your palpitations.\nKeep a record of how often you have palpitations, when they happen, how long they last, your heart rate at the time of the palpitations, and what you are feeling at the time. If you have never had heart palpitations before, bring them to the attention of your doctor. He or she will do a work up to determine the cause and whether they are treatable or not.\n Things to watch for.\nYou feel frequent extra heartbeats (more than 6 per minute or coming in runs of 3 or more).\nYou have new or different heart palpitations.\nYour pulse is more than 100 beats per minute (without exercise, anxiety, or fever).\nFrom what you say,I feel your stress is the cause of your problem. Try to ease your stress levels, or see your doctor for help .

The human body sweats in order to regulate internal body temperatures, expending it in the form of water when the body is under great heat and pressure.

It's probably the humidity level. you "seem" to sweat more when the humidity is high because water cannot evaporate into the atmosphere. when the humidity is low your sweat evaporates quickly, leading you to belive that you didn't work hard enough.

It's called orthostats, try this...  Lie down and relax for about 10 minutes and then take your pulse.  Slowly stand up and then after a minute take your pulse again.  If there is a huge difference, say more than 20 beats, you're probably dehydrated...
