How to adjust the heart rate

If the heart rate exceeds the normal range, this symptom becomes a fast heart rate. It has both physiological and disease reasons. For example, after exercising too intensely, the heart rate will often be faster. This is a normal phenomenon. Of course, some are caused by disease. At this time, you should pay attention, check in time, and receive good treatment in time.

What to do if your heart beats too fast

A heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute is called "tachycardia", at which time the patient will experience symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, and cold sweats. If this happens at home, here are some things you should do:

1. Breath holding method. Ask the patient to take a deep breath, hold it, and then exhale forcefully. Another method is to ask the patient to take a deep breath, hold his breath, and then inhale forcefully. Using these two methods can sometimes slow down a rapid heartbeat. 2. Induce vomiting. Stimulating the throat with a tongue depressor or fingers can induce vomiting, which can reflexively cause the heart rate to slow down by stimulating the vagus nerve.

If you want to slow down your heart rate, you should pay attention to reducing work pressure and mental burden. Obese people should lose weight, exercise more, eat a low-salt diet, quit smoking and drinking, etc. Pathological causes of a rapid heart rate include infection, fever, anemia, hyperthyroidism, heart failure, etc. These conditions require timely treatment. It should be reminded that people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol must exercise moderately. If their heart rate cannot recover to below 100 beats per minute within 5 minutes after exercise, the intensity is too high.
