A member asked:
Can a pounding heart be caused by dehydration, or does dehydration cause a weak heartbeat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Dehydration can produce an elevated heart rate, giving the sensation of the heart pounding in the chest. Extreme dehydration can produce hypovolemic shock, which if uncompensated, manifests as low blood pressure and possibly a weak pulse.
