My heartbeat sometimes feels heavy

The heart suddenly feels beating very heavily. The most common symptom is sinus tachycardia. In the absence of a history of heart disease, it is considered to be a heart fire problem caused by cold and fatigue. This phenomenon should be caused by paroxysmal tachycardia. Most of them are caused by staying up late, fatigue, mood swings, frequent consumption of coffee, strong tea, etc. Under normal circumstances, it will relieve itself, but if the attacks are frequent, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram.

In the absence of a history of heart disease, it is most likely that the cold and fatigue have caused the heart fire to rise, resulting in a red tongue and sore throat. Your body temperature rises as your immune system fights colds and infections, and inflammation in your respiratory tract can make you feel unwell. Anyone with a cold will feel this way. Cold medicine can relieve symptoms and make you feel better. Get enough rest and drink plenty of fluids, and your body will recover as your immune system builds up. It takes about a week to ten days for the body to recover. Pay attention to the nutrition of the diet and eat more high-protein foods that are easy to digest and absorb. Pay attention to physical exercise after your body recovers.

What is a normal heart rate?

Heart rate refers to the number of times a normal person's heart beats per minute in a quiet state, also known as resting heart rate. A normal person's heart rate is generally 60 to 100 beats per minute, but the speed of the heartbeat may vary from person to person due to age, gender or other physiological factors.

Generally speaking, the younger the age, the faster the heart rate. The elderly have a slower heart rate than the young, and women have a faster heart rate than men of the same age. These are all normal. So what should be the heart rate of a person in different states and ages?

Normal heart rate for adults: 60-100 beats/minute

Resting heart rate for adults: 70-80 beats/minute, slightly faster for women

Ideal heart rate: 55-70 beats/minute

Athletes: Athletes’ heart rates are slower than those of normal adults, generally around 50 beats per minute.

Elderly people: The heart rate is slower, usually 55-78 times.

Infants and young children: 110-150 times for newborns, 85-125 times at 2 years old, and 65-105 times at 4 years old.

Abnormal heart rate: If the heart rate exceeds 160 beats/minute, or is lower than 40 beats/minute, it is generally abnormal. This kind of heart rate is mostly seen in patients with heart disease. If it is often accompanied by palpitations, chest tightness and other discomforts, a detailed examination should be carried out as soon as possible so that treatment can be targeted at the cause.

Increased heart rate is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. Experts remind: Whether it is the general population or patients with cardiovascular disease, when the heart rate is elevated for a long time, it should be taken seriously.

1. Sinus tachycardia: 100-160 beats/min for adults or >150 beats/min for infants

A normal person's heart rate will increase after exercise or physical labor; the same is true for children when they are overactive, frightened, or crying. After proper rest and calming down, your heart rate will return to normal range. If you cannot recover, seek medical attention immediately.

2. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia of 160 to 220 beats per minute

Supraventricular tachycardia is not uncommon and often occurs in young people with structurally normal hearts. It happened suddenly and ended suddenly. Don't panic, take a deep breath, hold it as long as possible, and then exhale forcefully to help relieve the pain. Stimulating the throat to induce vomiting, jumping and other actions can also stop it. If these methods do not provide relief, go to a nearby hospital as soon as possible.
