What to do if you have tachycardia

The importance of the heart to people is self-evident, but the more active the heart is, the better. If you find that your heartbeat is too fast on a daily basis, it may cause a decrease in blood pumping efficiency. Therefore, in daily life, we must pay attention to the patient's symptoms of physical discomfort and avoid tachycardia. If such symptoms occur, timely measures should be taken to prevent further development of the disease.

The following first aid methods should be taken for tachycardia, which will help us alleviate the patient's symptoms to a certain extent. If you find that the disease still cannot be controlled, you should go to the hospital in time for formal examination to relieve the patient's symptoms.

First aid methods

Here are a few methods you can try:

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.

4. Ask the patient to close his eyes and look down, and use his fingers to press the upper part of the eyeball under the eye socket, starting with the right eye. At the same time, take your pulse and count your heart rate. Once the tachycardia stops, stop the compression immediately. But be sure not to use too much force. Press for 10 minutes each time. If pressing on one side is ineffective, switch to the other side. Avoid pressing on both sides at the same time. Contraindicated in patients with glaucoma or high myopia. At the same time, take propranolol or propranolol tablets orally. If the above methods do not provide relief and the patient still feels dizzy. If you have cold sweats and cold limbs, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Young people experience tachycardia because the autonomic nervous system function during adolescence is generally unstable and can easily become disordered or dysfunctional. However, this is only a temporary disorder and does not require special treatment. After puberty, palpitations will heal on their own. Although adolescent tachycardia is not an organic disease, it is still very uncomfortable when the heartbeat accelerates, especially when the heart rate exceeds 140 beats per minute. Therefore, when the tachycardia is above 120 beats per minute, you should rest properly and take some medicine to regulate the balance of the autonomic nervous system. If the frequency is less than 120 times, there is generally no need to rest, just take some medicine appropriately.

Through this article, you can learn some first aid methods that should be taken when tachycardia occurs. These first aid methods can effectively prevent the occurrence of emergencies. For patients who often experience such symptoms, a full-body examination should be conducted to identify the cause and avoid further development of heart disease.
