Wave of Illness at the Start of November: Many People Complain of Heart Palpitations
Published
At the beginning of November, many people in Germany are complaining about a wave of illness. One symptom in particular stands out: heart palpitations. Several affected people report noticing this sensation in their daily lives and therefore feel worried.
According to the AOK, one of Germany's large statutory health insurance funds, norovirus and rotavirus are often responsible for the infections. Both viruses can cause gastrointestinal illnesses, which are typically associated with diarrhea and vomiting. According to the health insurer, these pathogens can spread more easily in the warmer part of the year.
People suffering from such an infection should above all make sure to drink enough fluids, since diarrhea and vomiting can quickly lead to fluid loss. In addition, washing hands is an important measure to reduce the spread of the viruses.
If heart palpitations persist or symptoms are severe, doctors recommend seeing a physician. The available information is not sufficient to clearly establish a direct link between the infections and the heart palpitations.
