“Can I swim with heart palpitations?”

If you are experiencing heart palpitations, it is important to consult with your primary healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. In general, swimming with heart palpitations may not be recommended until the underlying condition causing the palpitations is diagnosed and managed.

Some potential causes of heart palpitations include stress, anxiety, caffeine or nicotine consumption, certain medications, hormonal changes, and underlying heart conditions. Swimming while experiencing heart palpitations can increase physical exertion and may potentially exacerbate symptoms or lead to complications in individuals with certain cardiac conditions.

Always seek medical advice regarding your specific situation as your healthcare provider will have a better understanding of your medical history and can provide guidance tailored to your needs.
