Sometimes my heart beats very fast

The average person's heart beats 60-100 times per minute in a normal resting state. Sometimes the heart beats suddenly very fast. It may be due to changes in weather conditions, mood, emotions, stress, diet, etc. It may also be due to accelerated hyperactivity of the vagus nerve. You can monitor yourself. If your heart rate is within the normal range, you don’t need to be too anxious or worried. If it is beyond the normal range, you need to go to the hospital for targeted examinations.

"Tachycardia" is not a disease name, but a symptom. The causes of tachycardia vary greatly, the most common of which is a disease of the heart itself, such as various types of heart disease, myocarditis, heart failure, etc. Systemic diseases such as anemia, fever, acute and chronic infection, shock, hyperthyroidism, and gas poisoning can also cause tachycardia. For normal people, their heart rate may accelerate when they exercise or are emotionally excited, drink strong liquor, strong tea, strong coffee, smoke a lot, or take certain medications. Suggestions: For pathological conditions such as hyperthyroidism, anemia, fever, hypoglycemia, and heart diseases such as arrhythmia, go to the hospital for diagnosis before receiving treatment. A 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram and cardiac ultrasound can be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Generally, the normal heart rate is 60-100 beats/minute. The heart rate will speed up due to vagal hyperactivity, and will also change due to weather, heat, mood, emotions, stress, diet, etc. Suggestions: Please ask the patient to measure the heart rate by himself. If it is within this range, it is still normal. Please do not be overly anxious or worried. If it is higher than this range, it is recommended to go to the hospital for some corresponding examinations: treadmill test, 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram to check the cause of tachycardia and deal with it in a timely and targeted manner. The presence of the above symptoms is considered to be palpitations, which are generally a type of symptom in which the patient will feel palpitations in the heart, and may even be unable to control the symptoms. When it occurs, the patient will feel that the heartbeat is fast and strong, accompanied by discomfort in the precordial area. You can take some Jieyu Kangwei capsules or Wenxin granules, pay attention to regulating your emotions in life, prevent excessive emotions such as joy and anger, pay proper rest, have less sexual intercourse, eat less food containing high animal fat, eat less salty, spicy, strong tea, coffee, etc., and participate in physical exercise appropriately, such as walking, Tai Chi, gymnastics, etc.

If your heartbeat often suddenly speeds up and you feel anxious, you may need to consider whether you have arrhythmia such as sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, etc. I suggest you go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram.
