Fast heart rate is tachycardia, physiological causes mainly include strenuous exercise, mental overstress, drinking alcohol, drinking strong tea or coffee, application of drugs to accelerate the heart rate, etc., generally no treatment is needed, and can be relieved by changing the lifestyle. Pathological causes mainly include hyperthyroidism, anemia, elevated body temperature, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, cardiac neurosis, etc., which need to be treated.
1. Hyperthyroidism: excessive secretion of thyroid hormone increases the heart rate. Oral medication, such as methylthiouracil, propylthiouracil and other anti-thyroid treatment, and surgery for severe cases.
2. Anemia: Anemia leads to hypoxia and increased heart rate. Correct anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia iron supplementation, megaloblastic anemia folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation.
3. Elevated body temperature: a 1° increase in body temperature and an increase in heart rate of about 10 beats. Before finding the cause of fever can be physical cooling or oral cooling drugs, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
4. Hypoglycemia: Decreased blood glucose, insufficient energy supply, increased heart rate. Rapid glucose supplementation to raise blood sugar, can be static glucose.
5. Arrhythmia: various types of tachycardia, application of anti-arrhythmic drugs, such as amiodarone, bisoprolol, verapamil, etc., or radiofrequency surgery for radical treatment.
6. Heart failure: heart pump failure, insufficient ejection of blood, the heart compensates for the accelerated heart rate. Apply drugs to improve the symptoms of heart failure, such as furosemide, torasemide, digitalis and so on.
7. Cardiac neurosis: autonomic nervous disorder. Behavioral therapy and suggestion therapy are needed to relieve psychological anxiety and mental tension.
Rapid heart rate need to go to the hospital, identify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor treatment, the above drugs need to be used in accordance with medical advice.
