Lifting heavy objects heartbeat may be a normal physiological reaction caused by fatigue, just stop and rest; may also be caused by coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy and other disease factors, should also stop and rest immediately, usually should be for the primary disease for general treatment and drug therapy, if necessary, intervention or surgical treatment.
1. Physiological factors: the body’s oxygen consumption increases when lifting heavy objects, the heart rate increases in order to increase the volume of blood discharge to compensate for the rapid heartbeat is a normal physiological response, stop and rest for a while can be restored. Patients should pay attention to strengthen exercise.
2. Coronary heart disease: angina pectoris and other coronary heart disease is characterized by coronary blood flow can not meet the needs of myocardial metabolism. Myocardial oxygen demand increases when lifting heavy objects, resulting in a transient imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. Such patients are often accompanied by chest pain, available nitroglycerin to relieve symptoms, usually available aspirin, atorvastatin and other drugs to prevent myocardial infarction, stenosis is serious can consider intervention or surgery.
3. Cardiomyopathy: dilated cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy and other patients, in the activity of the body’s oxygen demand increases, and the heart pumping capacity is insufficient, can only be compensated for by increasing the heart rate, so the heart rate is elevated faster, the activities of the endurance decreased. These patients are generally treated with drugs such as captopril, bisoprolol, spironolactone, dagliflozin, etc. to prevent or delay the development of heart failure.
If palpitations cannot be relieved for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and the drugs should be taken under the guidance of the physician.
