The reasons for waking up with a rapid heartbeat include physiological factors, such as the patient’s life and work stress, poor sleep quality, etc., and pathological factors, such as tachyarrhythmia, coronary artery disease, hyperthyroidism and so on.
1. Physiological factors: such as the patient’s life and work stress, poor sleep quality, nightmares, etc., easy to make the patient wake up sympathetic excitability increased, thus appearing rapid heartbeat.
2. Rapid arrhythmia: such as supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, etc., which can cause rapid heartbeat when the patient wakes up from sleep.
3. Coronary heart disease: the body’s metabolism accelerates after waking up from sleep, the myocardial oxygen demand increases, and coronary artery formation of patients with coronary artery disease to varying degrees of plaque, so that the coronary artery lumen is narrowed or even blocked, easy to cause myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which can make the heart rate accelerated compensatory.
4. Hyperthyroidism: hyperthyroidism patients with excessive synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, so that the sympathetic nerves are excited, causing the heart rate to accelerate. Hyperthyroidism patients often wake up in bed with a rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by chest tightness, hand tremor and other symptoms.
If the patient frequently wakes up with a rapid heart rate, he should go to the regular hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
