The weather is getting colder and colder. Cold stimulation often causes blood vessels to contract and heartbeat to accelerate, making heart diseases such as myocardial infarction and heart failure more likely to occur.

Chest pain

If you go to the hospital because of stomachache and shoulder pain, the doctor suggests to check the electrocardiogram and must cooperate.
Palpitations
Palpitation is a common symptom of arrhythmia. Some people will feel that the heart has missed a beat, while others will suddenly feel a series of rapid and irregular heartbeats.
