Heart palpitations
The heart performs its normal function of pumping blood throughout the body on a daily basis through a precise system created by God in our bodies from the early hours of birth until the last moment in our lives, and the heart beats in the normal person usually at a rate of 70-100 strokes per minute in Comfort mode, but these strikes may vary from person to person depending on the physical effort. If a person is an athlete, the heart rate may drop to 60 strokes per minute.
Heart rate increases to about 100-150 strokes in the case of doing sports, for example, doing hard work or exposure to severe psychological pressure such as trauma or excessive nerve, so that the increase is temporary and ends with the disappearance of the effect, but when the number of heart beats more than 100 beats per minute Rest mode means that the person has a heart rhythm disorder or what is known as heart palpitations.
