6. Palpitations
The loss of a steady pace for the heartbeat is one of the manifestations of the dysfunction caused by the Brugada syndrome, but there are others that can also be interpreted as a sign that something is going wrong. Palpitations are the strong perception of our own heartbeat, and people who experience them could get immediately concerned, thinking that something is happening to their hearts.
However, just as arrhythmia, palpitations caused by Brugada syndrome are very rarely a sign of immediate danger. The heart has problems beating efficiently, and it tries to make up for it by beating more strongly, and for that reason, we can feel the palpitations on our chest. Some people report feeling these palpitations on the arteries of their neck, too. Palpitations can be quite scary, especially when combined with skipped beats because arrhythmia and palpitations can happen at the same time. Also, the anxiety or fear caused by palpitations can cause even more palpitations.
