The causes of a strong heartbeat at rest can be physiologic or pathologic. Physiological causes include drinking strong tea, alcohol, adrenaline or thyroxine, etc. Pathological factors can be due to hypertensive heart disease, aortic valve insufficiency, anemia, hyperthyroidism, fever, etc. can also cause this symptom.
1. Physiological factors: alcohol, tea, adrenaline, thyroxine can excite the sympathetic nerves, sympathetic nerve excitation can cause the heart to beat stronger, as a normal physiological response.
2. Hypertensive heart disease: the peripheral vascular resistance increases in patients with hypertension, and the heart needs to enhance the beat to overcome the peripheral resistance and maintain normal blood output, so the patients will feel that the heartbeat is very strong.
3. Aortic valve insufficiency: patients with aortic valve insufficiency have regurgitation in the aorta, increased left ventricular preload, increased cardiac work, and increased heartbeat.
4. Anemia: Anemia reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, and in order to maintain a normal oxygen supply to the peripheral tissues, starburial is compensated for by increasing the heart rate and the volume of blood discharged by the heart.
5. Hyperthyroidism: the patient’s basal metabolism and sympathetic excitability increases, the heart beat increases.
6. Fever: The patient’s basal metabolic rate increases, heart rate increases, and cardiac output increases, causing the patient’s discomfort.
After excluding the physiological factors, the patient should consult a doctor to find out the cause of the disease in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment to avoid adverse consequences.
