    Glossary Heart Palpitations

    Heart palpitations refer to the sensation of feeling your own heart beating, which can feel like fluttering, pounding, or racing. While not directly related to hair loss, they can be relevant in the context of stress and anxiety, which are known to contribute to certain types of hair loss, such as telogen effluvium. Key distinguishing characteristics include the awareness of heartbeats that may occur at rest or during physical activity, and they can be triggered by various factors including stress, caffeine, or hormonal changes. Understanding the connection between emotional health and hair loss can help in managing both conditions effectively.
