Ventricular Tachycardia – Symptoms and Causes

Chest Pain

In people with ventricular tachycardia, the electrical signals are disrupted. As a result, the ventricles cannot pump enough blood to other parts of the body. To compensate for this lack, the heart has to beat faster, which would put more pressure on the blood pressure. That’s why you may feel chest pain. Depending on the underlying cause and current situation, the sensation may vary in terms of intensity, ranging from a dull ache to a sharp stab. In some cases, the pain would feel burning or crushing. [2]
