Tachycardia can resolve on its own, but this is typically under physiological conditions. Especially in situations of stress or emotional excitement, tachycardia can resolve on its own. However, if it is due to a pathological disease, this is not the case. Particularly, it is important to re-examine the electrocardiogram, monitor changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse. If the heart rate is too fast and blood pressure is elevated, sometimes active treatment and symptom control are necessary. Additionally, if it cannot resolve on its own, it is first necessary to rule out coronary heart disease, psychological disorders, and other pathological changes that might cause this condition.

How long will it take for tachycardia to get better?

If a patient experiences this kind of tachycardia, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, preferably conducting an electrocardiogram, as this can further clarify the diagnosis. Simple tachycardia does not require special treatment, as early-stage tachycardia can heal on its own or improve gradually. In terms of diet, it is still recommended that patients adhere to a light diet, particularly avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. If a patient experiences this kind of rapid heartbeat, they can use some medications to control the ventricular rate, thereby improving the symptoms.

How to quickly recover from tachycardia?

If a patient experiences tachycardia, it needs to be actively addressed, and the patient is advised to go to the hospital to get an electrocardiogram. If the heart rate is too fast, it can lead to an increased myocardial oxygen consumption, resulting in states of ischemia and hypoxia. It is currently necessary to visit the hospital promptly for treatment to improve this condition of myocardial tachycardia or myocardial ischemia. Some medications that improve myocardial function can be used to control the ventricular rate. For sinus tachycardia, no special treatment is required; regular monitoring is sufficient. In terms of treatment, symptomatic treatment is primarily emphasized, along with rest, particularly establishing a good routine. Adjusting the frequency of deep inhalation or exhalation can also bring improvement.

Is tachycardia related to being overweight?

Tachycardia generally has no relation to obesity. Clinically, tachycardia can be categorized into sinus tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and other types, none of which have a definitive relation to obesity. There are many causes of tachycardia, such as fever, hyperthyroidism, and anemia. Additionally, certain structural heart diseases and pulmonary diseases can also lead to tachycardia. While obesity itself introduces a range of issues like hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and other metabolic abnormalities, which might affect the heart rate, this impact is usually not severe.

What should I do about tachycardia?

When tachycardia occurs, it is important to actively identify the cause of the tachycardia and actively treat the underlying disease causing the tachycardia. If it is caused by heart failure, it is essential to actively provide anti-heart failure treatment to control the heart failure. Once the heart failure is stabilized, long-term administration of beta-blockers should be given to effectively control the heart rate. In cases of rapid arrhythmias, anti-arrhythmic drugs should be administered timely. If arrhythmias recur frequently and there are indications, radiofrequency ablation surgery can be performed. Patients with hyperthyroidism should be treated to reduce the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, bringing them back to normal levels. If the tachycardia arises from mental stress, emotional fluctuations, or exercise, no special treatment is necessary. It only requires stabilization of the tense emotions, relaxation, and proper rest; the heart rate will quickly return to normal.

How many beats per minute is considered tachycardia?

Tachycardia refers to the phenomenon where the heartbeat exceeds 100 beats per minute. From a medical perspective, this can be classified into various types of tachycardia including sinus tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, among others. If one experiences such symptoms, it is crucial to visit a hospital for proper checks. An electrocardiogram (ECG) should be done to determine the specific type of tachycardia. Additionally, a complete blood count should be performed to check for anemia that might be causing tachycardia. Thyroid function tests including TSH, T3, and T4 should be conducted to rule out hyperthyroidism as a possible cause. Also, an echocardiogram should be done to check for any structural heart diseases that might lead to tachycardia.
