Palpitations, or the sensation of a racing or irregular heartbeat, can be another whisper of heart valve disease. When valves fail to open or close properly, it can disrupt the heart's rhythm, leading to palpitations. These sensations might feel like a fluttering in the chest or a skipped beat, often occurring during rest or physical exertion. While palpitations can result from various factors, including stress and caffeine, their presence alongside other symptoms can indicate underlying heart valve issues. Seeking medical evaluation for persistent palpitations can lead to early detection and management of heart valve disease.
