Is tachycardia dangerous?
If the patient frequently experiences this type of tachycardia with a heart rate exceeding one hundred beats per minute, it is recommended that the patient visit a hospital to undergo an electrocardiogram examination. If tachycardia is confirmed, it is advised to identify the underlying cause. For tachycardia occurring under conditions of anxiety or stress, it is advised that the patient actively manage and control their heart rate to alleviate symptoms such as palpitations and chest tightness.
If the patient presents with other complications, especially conditions like coronary heart disease or diabetes with hypertension, it is crucial to actively manage the tachycardia. Sometimes, medication may be necessary to treat this condition.
