What are the causes of irregular heartbeat in children?

Children's body functions are in the process of growth, and it is easy for some bad symptoms to appear in this process, such as arrhythmia. In fact, this is a common heart disease in children. There are many causes of this disease, it may be caused by blood vessel contraction, or it may be caused by strenuous exercise. What is the reason? Let us take a look together.

1. Cold stimulation. The cause of arrhythmia in children is that the body is suddenly exposed to cold, the nervous system is stimulated, the blood vessels suddenly contract, and the blood pressure rises, causing arrhythmia, which can lead to death in severe cases.

2. Mood changes. Sometimes people's emotions can have a great impact, such as extreme joy or sorrow, excessive worry, panic, anger, etc. These will cause an imbalance in the heart's nerve function and endocrine hormone release through the brain's central nervous system, leading to irregular heartbeat and affecting the functioning of the heart, so abnormal manifestations will appear.

3. Get dressed. Sometimes the clothes we wear can also have some effects. Synthetic fiber clothes can cause premature ventricular beats in some people. This may be related to the body's allergy to synthetic fibers, which leads to the release of histamines. It may also be that synthetic fiber clothing causes static electricity interference on the skin, changes the surface potential difference, and thus causes arrhythmia.

4. Swallow food. When swallowing food during eating, you should also be careful not to swallow too hastily. Some patients may experience sudden palpitations, dizziness, or even fainting within 3 to 6 seconds of swallowing food; some may experience tachycardia and frequent premature beats; others may experience bradycardia and conduction block. The symptoms are more obvious when "wolfing down food", so people should still swallow slowly when eating.

5. Vigorous exercise. The cause of arrhythmia in children is that exercise will reduce parasympathetic nerve tension, increase sympathetic nerve tension, increase myocardial oxygen consumption, and change atrioventricular conduction, which will increase the heart rate and induce arrhythmia. Therefore, the rhythm of exercise should be well controlled and excessive intense exercise should be avoided.

There are many reasons for children's arrhythmia. Sometimes when children eat their favorite food, they tend to eat it quickly, which may also lead to the occurrence of this disease. No matter what the reason is, it is better to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid some more serious reasons and delay the best time for treatment.
