Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Heart palpitations make you feel as though your heart beating is abnormally fast, fluttering or pounding. They can also make you feel as though your heart has skipped a beat. Heart palpitations are typically felt in the chest or neck. When you experience heart palpitations, you may also feel the urge to cough.
Detailed explanation-2: -The physical symptoms of a panic attack are caused by your body going into “fight or flight” mode. As your body tries to take in more oxygen, your breathing quickens. Your body also releases hormones, such as adrenaline, causing your heart to beat faster and your muscles to tense up.
