Even when resting my heart is pounding could it be autonomic ataxia

Hello, this is Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic. # Even when resting, my heart is pounding, could it be autonomic ataxia? Have you ever experienced your heart pounding and feeling stuffy all of a sudden in a peaceful daily life? If you feel like your heart is beating wildly when you go to bed at night, or even when you are just sitting quietly doing nothing, you are likely to be gripped by anxiety and nervousness. When these symptoms recur, you often visit the hospital out of concern that something might be seriously wrong with your heart, only to receive a diagnosis of 'no particular abnormality'. However, the pain remains and the discomfort does not go away, so your vague fear only grows. What we should pay attention to at this time is 'autonomic ataxia'. 💡 **[Key Answer]** Top 3 most common causes of the symptom **"Even when resting, my heart is pounding"**: ① Autonomic overload due to chronic stress and overwork / ② Imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems / ③ Irregular lifestyle habits and lack of sleep Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic restores body balance through **autonomic stabilization** treatment and resolves the root cause of heart palpitations. ## Why does my heart pound even when resting? The relationship with autonomic ataxia Our body constantly performs activities to maintain life, such as the heart beating, breathing, and digesting, even without conscious control. Managing all of these processes is the 'autonomic nervous system'. The autonomic nervous system operates in balance like a seesaw, divided into the 'sympathetic nervous system', which copes with emergency situations, and the 'parasympathetic nervous system', which relaxes and rests the body. However, when this balance is broken due to chronic stress, overwork, irregular lifestyle habits, etc., the autonomic nervous system moves arbitrarily and malfunctions like sudden acceleration in a car. In particular, when the sympathetic nervous system is excessively hyperactive, heart rate and blood pressure increase, leading to symptoms such as heart pounding (palpitations), chest tightness, anxiety, and nervousness. You may even feel your heart pounding while lying in bed resting because your body maintains a tense state. At this time, it is important to receive accurate diagnosis and treatment at an Incheon autonomic Korean medicine clinic. ## How does Korean medicine treat autonomic ataxia? At Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic, heart-pounding autonomic ataxia is not viewed simply as a symptom, but as a state where the balance of the entire body is broken. In particular, we closely grasp the activity and balance state of the autonomic nervous system using objective indicators such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tests. Combining these test results with individual patient symptoms, we perform 'autonomic stabilization' treatment to restore the balance of disturbed autonomic nerves. In a 2005 study by Myeong Soo Lee's research team published in the International Journal of Neuroscience, the effects of autonomic nervous system function and herbal medicine were confirmed through Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis. This study compared and analyzed HRV after having 20 patients take herbal medicine (Ondamtanggamibang) or placebo. As a result, the herbal medicine group showed a decreased heart rate, increased Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and a significant decrease in the low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) ratio, which indicates the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The researchers concluded that herbal medicine stabilizes the functions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and further has a positive effect on emotional stability. Based on these data, Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic provides herbal medicine treatment based on scientific evidence to help stabilize the autonomic nervous system and emotional peace. In addition, according to a 2005 study...
