Why Heart Palpitations Become More Common in Winter

Feb 2, 2026

Heart palpitations tend to increase during the winter months, and it’s not by chance. In this video, Dr Rohit Goel, Principal Consultant – Cardiology, Max Hospital, Gurugram, explains how cold weather causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to higher blood pressure and adrenaline surges that can disrupt heart rhythm. Factors such as dehydration, respiratory infections, reduced physical activity, and increased alcohol intake further raise the risk. Individuals with existing heart conditions, hypertension, or diabetes need to be especially cautious. Staying warm, well-hydrated, and alert to warning signs can make a critical difference. Early medical attention saves lives.
