If the patient experiences this type of tachycardia, it is not recommended for the patient to run, as running can exacerbate the rapid heart rate, leading to tachycardia. If this occurs, it can be actively managed to control the ventricular rate. It is best to find the cause of tachycardia, especially if it is a pathological disease, particularly supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, which sometimes requires active management to improve myocardial oxygen consumption. In such cases, running is not advisable. Running increases cardiac output, leading to myocardial ischemia, thereby exacerbating symptoms and further bringing significant discomfort to the patient. Rest is recommended.
