Myocarditis

Among various myocarditis, viral myocarditis is the most common. Women suffering from colds and upper respiratory tract infections are prone to toxic myocarditis. One of the main symptoms of this disease is palpitations and chest tightness.

Autonomic dysfunction

The autonomic dysfunction often occurs in women's puberty. Some 16-year-old girls often complain of chest tightness, which is mostly caused by autonomic dysfunction.

Unpleasant emotion

Girls tend to be emotionally delicate. When they encounter dissatisfaction, they are prone to sulking and uncomfortable feelings, which often makes them feel guilty. According to psychologists, palpitations caused by this cause are the most common.

Estrogen secretion is strong

From the beginning of puberty, the ovarian and other reproductive systems begin to mature, secrete estrogen, promote menstrual menstruation and form obvious female sexual characteristics. Heart palpitations and chest tightness are related to the level of sex hormone secretion. Young women have strong estrogen secretion, subcutaneous fat thickening, and adipose tissue consumes more oxygen than muscle tissue, so young women can cause insufficient oxygen supply in the body, resulting in chest tightness and suffocation.
