3. Heart palpitations
This is, according to many patients that report having ventricular tachycardia as well as other conditions or syndromes that affect the heart, one of the scariest symptoms of ventricular tachycardia, if not the scariest of them all. They feel like their heart is beating very strongly, and sometimes very quickly, so much so that they can feel in on their chest.
Some even report feeling their own pulse in the form of palpitations in other parts of the body, like the neck. Even if these manifestations of a heart affectation can be scary or unsettling, they are often harmless in themselves. They are no sign of immediate danger but let us know that the heart is struggling to pump blood the way it should. Ventricular tachycardia causes our heart to beat less efficiently, so it has to make up for the lack of strength in its beats by beating more intensely.
