Hi, Can A Mild Infection Like A Uti Cause Heart
Question: Hi, can a mild infection like a uti cause heart palpatations ?
Brief Answer:
if there is fever or infection severe
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there is a fever associated with the UTI or the UTI is severe (eg spread from the bladder towards to kidneys or associated with systemic symptoms- eg abdominal pain, fatigue etc), then palpitations can occur.
If there is any anxiety or worry re the infection- this can also cause palpiations
Then the infection is mild- no fever, only mild urinary symptoms ( minor discomfort on urination, no systemic symptoms), then palpitations are not as likely.
I hope this helps , feel free to ask any other questions
