Symptom 7: Sweating
Excessive, sudden sweating is another symptom that might indicate Ventricular Fibrillation. This isn’t your usual sweating due to heat or physical exertion. It’s an unexplained, abrupt onset of cold, clammy sweat, often described as being drenched in a cold shower.
You might notice your skin becoming cool and moist to touch, your clothes might feel damp, and you could even see visible beads of sweat on your skin. This can occur at any time, not necessarily associated with high temperatures or physical activity.
This symptom is due to the body’s stress response in V-Fib, with excessive sweating serving as a signal that something is amiss. Like all other symptoms mentioned, if you experience sudden, unexplained sweating, especially if it’s accompanied by symptoms like chest discomfort or shortness of breath, immediate medical help is necessary.
