can a cold make your heart beat faster?

Question

I was exercising and when I finished I drank ice cold and my heart started racing really fast!?

Answer 1

Yes: Particularly if you become dehydrated.

Answer 2

Probably: Well most people do not get a fast heart rate when eating. However, it probably does not indicate that there is anything wrong with your heart. Maybe you just like to eat and get excited.

Answer 3

Can be: Some foods , especially spicy foods or foods with caffeine (chocolate) can cause your heart to beat faster ... Also eating causes your gastrointestinal tract to need more blood flow, which can cause your heart to beat faster.

Answer 4

Tachycardia: Rapid heart rate can herald a number of worrisome outcomes including: sudden death, stroke, heart attack, etc. Immediate evaluation is necessary. Ekg, possibly an angiogram, echocardiography, and cardiology consultation may be in order. Do not neglect these symptoms and assume that they will simply "go away." go now.!

Answer 5

Sleep problem: Sounds like it could be apnea. Apnea causes adrenaline surge and disrupted nighttime sleep leading to daytime sleepiness. See a sleep specialist and have a sleep study.

Answer 6

Yes: The heart rhythm can be abnormal even if you are not anxious. Many times there is not a specific cause, it just happens. You need an EKG to see exactly what type of irregular pulse you have.

Answer 7

Need heart monitor: You could have skipped beats called pvcs which is usually not a concern. Sometimes it could be a more setious rhythm problem such as atrial fibrillation. A heart monitor may help to sort it out.

Answer 8

Depends on age: That depends, sometimes the fetus just isn't in a good position to hear the heartbeat. Sometimes the heartbeat can be detected as early as 9-10 weeks, but other times it can be normal not to hear it until 12- 14 weeks. If it was heard for a while, then your doctor can't hear it, they will usually send you for an ultrasound to take a look at the baby's position.

Answer 9

Two possibilities: Either one the pregnancy is going to be fine and it's just too early to detect it with that particular ultrasound. In that case, the heartbeat should definitely be detectable in a few weeks. Two there might be something wrong with the pregnancy (either a miscarriage or ectopic).

Answer 10

Not good news.: We should be able to detect the cardiac activity of the fetus by 5-6 weeks after a missed period with modern ultrasound equipment. No heart tones are the definition of pregnancy loss if they were previously there - or just a normal state before 5-6 weeks.

Answer 11

Oy: I am so glad you have a beating heart! suggest you talk with a doctor face to face since i think you might want to express more detail than in your question. Perhaps wait until that conversation occurs before any vigorous activity?
