Sunspots Sunspots are dark areas that appear on the surface of the Sun. They are caused by strong magnetic activity within the Sun. Sunspots are not permanent and they can move slowly across the surface of Sun changing size as they move. The appearance of sunspots follows the solar cycle of eleven years. Every eleven years there will be a period of increased sunspot activity.
A heart palpitation is an abnormal beating of the heart AND your heightened awareness of your heart beat. Palpitations can cause your heart to beat fast (tachycardia), slow (bradycardia), flutter, or to even have âskippedâ heart beats (PVCs). Heart palpitations can be caused by electrolyte imbalances, adrenaline, anemia, heart disease, arrhythmias, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and of course, anxiety disorders. There are more causes, but the ones listed are common.
It's well known that anxiety can cause heart palpitations, and it's believed that the main cause may be an over-awareness of one's own heart, combined with surges of adrenaline that may occur at random in those with anxiety. These types of palpitations often trigger panic attacks. Panic attacks themselves can also cause palpitations. During a panic attack, two things occur that lead to rapid heartbeat: First, the sympathetic nervous system is on high alert, which may lead to a rapid increase in heart rate. Second, during panic attacks, people often have a tendency to hyperventilate.
