What medicine is more effective when the heart rate is fast?

If the heart rate is too fast, the patient often feels uncomfortable. There are many reasons for a fast heart rate. The most common one is arrhythmia. Of course, hyperthyroidism may also cause such a phenomenon. When this symptom occurs, you can use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Sometimes you can take Betaloc. If it is a sustained-release tablet, you don’t have to take it once a day. At the same time, you should monitor blood pressure and heart rate.

What to do if your heart rate is too fast?

1. Ask the patient to cough loudly.

2. Ask the patient to take a deep breath, hold his breath, and then exhale forcefully.

3. Fingers irritate the throat, causing nausea and vomiting.

What to do if you have an irregular heartbeat?

1. Electric shock

When arrhythmia occurs, if it causes a decrease in cardiac blood transfusion, resulting in shock or quasi-shock, the doctor will use a defibrillator (a medical electric shock device) to shock the patient's chest to restore the heart to normal heartbeat.

2. Pacemaker

It is done by placing an electrode wire on the surface of the heart or inside the right ventricle and connecting the other end to a battery (containing a sensor). When the heartbeat slows to a certain degree or stops, the sensor will emit electric waves to stimulate the heart to beat. This is specifically used to treat heart block. Another type of regulator is used when the heart beats too fast, and its effect is like an external electric shock. The battery of the pacemaker is usually placed in the subcutaneous tissue under the clavicle of the chest or in the abdomen. The battery life is more than 10 years. If the power is used up, the battery can be replaced through surgery. Patients with pacemakers should avoid contact with high voltage electricity. Electromagnetic waves are close to each other. When using a mobile phone, avoid placing it close to the battery to avoid affecting the function of the pacemaker.

3. Drug treatment

Medication can restore the heartbeat to normal or reduce the frequency of irregular heartbeats, but it can usually only control the condition and not necessarily cure it.

What are the causes of a fast heart rate?

The causes of a fast heart rate are mostly functional, but can also be seen in organic heart disease and extracardiac factors. Its production is mainly related to sympathetic nerve excitement and decreased vagal nerve tone.

Physiological fast heart rate: Physiological fast heart rate is very common. Many factors affect the heart rate, such as changes in body position, physical activity, food digestion, emotional anxiety, pregnancy, excitement, fear, excitement, drinking, smoking, drinking tea, etc., which can increase the heart rate. Age is also a factor; children tend to have faster heart rates.
