I believe many people have experienced that when we stay up late or work too hard for a long time, our heart will suddenly feel very uncomfortable, not only with a sharp heartbeat but also with a tingling sensation. This discomfort may not last very long, so many people do not care about it. But we need to know that in the heart without special circumstances, there is no tingling sensation.

So we must be vigilant, so why does the heart suddenly appear tingling sensation? It is likely that the following three reasons.

1, functional pain

According to related research, sometimes heart tingling may not be heart pain, but the brain's response to pain.

Therefore, if this heart-tingling sensation lasts only for a few seconds, it is not angina, but a functional pain.

If life and work are too stressful, and the long-term existence of bad habits such as staying up late, smoking, and drinking, it will easily lead to this functional pain.

2, intercostal neuralgia

According to relevant research, sometimes the sudden stabbing pain of the heart may not be heart pain, but intercostal neuralgia.

The so-called intercostal nerve, simply put, is the nerve between the ribs, from the back of the spine as the starting point, all the way to the front of the chest, so intercostal neuralgia is the pain in this area.

So, sometimes a sudden stabbing pain in the heart is intercostal neuralgia. And many diseases cause intercostal neuralgia, such as herpes zoster, tuberculosis, compression fractures, and even tumors. So everyone must be alert.

3、Heart disease

In addition to the above two reasons, sometimes the sudden tingling of the heart may be caused by heart disease. For example, heart disease, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, etc.

If patients with these diseases are unstable or stimulated and frightened, it can cause heart-stabbing pain. If this pain occurs frequently or persistently, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.

The above three conditions are common causes of heart tingling, especially the third one, if the tingling occurs, you must seek medical attention in time.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 3 million new heart patients are added each year in China, while as many as 1 million patients die due to heart attacks. So it is urgent to protect the heart.

So how should we protect the heart? May start with the following points.

1, avoid smoking and alcohol

We all know that drinking alcohol is very harmful to the human body, and alcohol will not only damage the liver and bones but also increase the chances of heart disease and hypertension.

According to relevant studies, the chances of heart disease in people who do not drink are 50% of those who drink for a long time, so it is clear that drinking has caused a lot of damage to the heart.

Of course, when it comes to drinking, we must mention smoking. We all know that smoking is no less harmful to the human body than drinking.

Especially to the lungs and heart. According to incomplete statistics, at least 30% of people who die from heart disease are caused by long-term smoking. It can be seen that the damage of smoking to the heart is also not small, so we better do to quit smoking and alcohol.

2, less staying up late

Stay up late, for our young people is a very normal thing. But we must know that if you stay up late for a long time, the body's functions will be damaged, especially the heart and liver will irreversibly damage.

Not only will the body's hormone disorders, but also increase the burden on the heart, many people are because of long-term stay up late, which leads to cardiac arrest death. So we must draw our attention to keep 7 hours of sleep every day and going to sleep early.

The above two points are very effective in protecting the heart. If you have the above bad habits, you must change them as soon as possible to prevent heart problems.

In short, the heart is a very important organ for us, and once the heart has problems, they are often irreversible.

So if the heart often appears tingling or other discomfort, it is best to go to the hospital in time for examination, once the problem is found, early treatment is, I hope we can all have a healthy heart.
