Long-term rapid heartbeat, blood vessels are vulnerable to injury Heart rate usually refers to the number of heartbeats per minute in a normal person in a quiet state. The normal adult heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute, less than 60 beats per minute is called bradycardia, more than 100 beats per minute is called tachycardia. There are many reasons that can make the heart beat faster, common factors in life are: 1. Stress: Stress will increase the heart rate in the awake, quiet state, that is, the resting heart rate. When emotionally excited, the heart rate will also increase. If long-term tachycardia due to stress, will damage cardiovascular health. 2, the impact of diet: full meals, drinking strong tea, coffee, as well as smoking, drinking alcohol, etc. can make the sympathetic nerve excitement, heart rate accelerated. 3, exercise and position change: after exercise and physical labor heart rate will be accelerated when standing sympathetic excitation, heart rate will be accelerated. 4, pregnancy and age is also a factor, children tend to have a faster heart rate. However, if the adult heart rate exceeds 100 beats/min in a quiet state with palpitations (panic), sweating, dizziness, weakness and other symptoms, you should be alert, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram and, if necessary, to investigate the following causes 1, systemic diseases: hyperthermia, anemia, hypoxia, infection, hyperthyroidism, pain, acute rheumatic fever, foot disease and neurosis can cause tachycardia. 2, cardiovascular disease: hypotension, heart failure, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, pericarditis, acute myocardial infarction and various organic heart disease can lead to tachycardia. 3, pharmacological: such as sympathomimetic drugs such as ephedrine, epinephrine. Parasympathetic blocking drugs such as atropine, caffeine, thyroxine, amphetamines, etc. can cause tachycardia. Heartbeat is too slow to prevent sudden death Heartbeat is too fast is not good, too slow is not good either. Under physiological conditions, a slower heartbeat is mainly related to age, gender and other factors. Generally speaking, the heart rate of the elderly is slower than that of young people; the heart rate of men is slower than that of women of the same age; the heart rate of athletes is slower than that of ordinary people. 1. If the resting heart rate is between 40 and 60 beats per minute and there are no abnormal symptoms, treatment is generally not necessary. But if the heart rate is too slow for a long time, it will lead to insufficient blood pumping out of the heart, resulting in lack of blood and oxygen in the body. The body, in order to “save itself”, often chooses to compensate for the ventricles to speed up the movement of blood supply, which in turn will cause insufficient blood return, which in serious cases may lead to sudden death, or even die in their sleep. 2, if the heart rate is particularly slow (≤ 40 beats/min), dizziness, shortness of breath or even blackness in front of the eyes, you should promptly go to the hospital for further treatment. 3.If the heart rate is less than 50 beats/min for a long time and there are abnormal symptoms, it is also recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to find the cause. Four strokes to help stabilize the heartbeat 1, eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day The latest study by Imperial College London found that eating 800 grams of fruits and vegetables every day has a better effect on cancer prevention and heart protection. Among them, apples, citrus fruits (oranges and tangerines, etc.) have a good effect on heart protection and can be eaten more often, and dark green leafy vegetables are best eaten 250 grams a day. 2, let the heart sleep a good sleep moderate sleep time and reasonable diet, exercise, as well as for the body moderate “charge”, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. In particular, avoid staying up late for a long time or even overnight, it is recommended to ensure that the daily sleep of about 7 hours, too much sleep is too little is not good for the heart. Before sleep should be turned off the wireless network and cell phones, do not drink too much water to avoid frequent night. 3, moderate exercise appropriate exercise can help protect the heart, but too brave but will hurt the heart. The study found that long-term strenuous exercise, atrial fibrillation incidence increased by 5.5 times, while regular moderate intensity exercise can reduce arrhythmia attacks. It should be based on the principle of “move according to your ability”, not forced exercise or excessive activity. The middle-aged and elderly can take a walk, play tai chi and other softer exercises. If your heart rate is normally normal, but you can’t recover to below 100 beats/min after 5 minutes of exercise, it is usually considered to be too strong and should be adjusted after consulting your doctor. 4, regular medical checkups Many people with abnormal heartbeats do not have typical symptoms such as panic attacks and chest tightness, and are only found during medical checkups. It is recommended that you have regular medical checkups, and those with a family history of heart disease should usually pay attention to pulse and heart rate changes and seek medical attention promptly if they find significant abnormalities.
