Why do women feel dizzy, short of breath, weak limbs, and feel dizzy?

Many women are prone to symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness in the limbs, and dizziness after childbirth or during menstruation. Many women think that this may be due to postpartum weakness or occasional discomfort during menstruation, and they do not pay much attention to it. In fact, when women experience such problems after childbirth or during menstruation, in addition to physical weakness, it is also possible that there is a disease in the body. Let us now understand what is going on?

Arrhythmias

(1) Tachycardia

Sinus tachycardia, tachycardia-type atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter caused by various reasons, especially those occurring suddenly, can easily cause palpitations.

(2) Bradycardia

High degree of atrioventricular block, atrioventricular junctional rhythm, spontaneous ventricular rhythm, sick sinus syndrome, excessive vagal nerve excitability, etc., due to slow heart rate, prolonged diastole, increased ventricular filling, resulting in strong and powerful heartbeats, can cause palpitations. But palpitations are more common when the heart rate suddenly slows down.

(3) Irregular heartbeat

Premature beats (premature contractions) and atrial fibrillation can cause palpitations. Occasional premature beats usually do not cause subjective symptoms, but patients may feel palpitations due to the sudden heartbeat, and sometimes may feel that the heart suddenly stops beating (compensatory pauses).

.Cardiac neurosis

Cardiac neurosis is a clinical syndrome caused by autonomic dysfunction, and most patients are young and middle-aged women. In addition to palpitations, patients often have a rapid heart rate, tingling or dull pain in the precordial area, and difficulty breathing. They are often accompanied by symptoms of neurosis such as headaches, dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, and inattention. The onset of the disease is often related to mental factors and is often caused by emotional excitement. β-Adrenergic receptor hyperresponsiveness syndrome is caused by autonomic dysfunction. The patients mainly present with symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, and tachycardia, which are similar to the symptoms caused by stimulation of sympathetic nerve beta receptors. Mental stimulation is often the cause of the disease. Most of the patients are young and middle-aged women.

The above content is about the reasons why women experience palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness in limbs, and dizziness after childbirth. I believe that everyone has a general understanding after reading the above content. Generally speaking, most of the time when women experience this problem after childbirth, it is due to postpartum exhaustion, but it does not rule out some diseases in the body, such as heavy bleeding, etc. Therefore, if female friends find any abnormalities in their bodies after childbirth, they must go to the hospital for examination in time.
