Tachycardia is classified as physiologic and pathologic. Physiologic factors can be relieved with rest or removal of the trigger. Cardiac and endocrine diseases can be caused by taking beta-blockers such as metoprolol, and actively treating the primary disease. Tachycardia will improve when the primary disease is controlled in patients with fever, anemia, and shock. For the taking of drugs caused by, should immediately stop drugs, observe the clinical symptoms.
1. Physiological: It is common in healthy people, such as exercise or emotional excitement, etc. It can be relieved after resting or removing triggers.
2. Heart disease: Organic heart disease such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, etc.), can cause tachycardia, the patient can take β-blockers such as metoprolol, bisoprolol to reduce heart rate. Patients with atrial fibrillation may also consider catheterized radiofrequency ablation.
3. Endocrine diseases: such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus. On the one hand, patients should take medication for hyperthyroidism or hypoglycemic drugs, and actively treat the primary disease; on the other hand, patients should take β-blockers, such as metoprolol and bisoprolol, to lower the heart rate.
4. Other factors: including fever, anemia, shock can cause tachycardia, at this time should be actively treating the primary disease, tachycardia will be improved after control. In addition, taking certain drugs such as epinephrine, atropine can also accelerate the heart rate, at this time should immediately stop taking drugs, monitor the heart rate, and go to the hospital for standardized examination, to exclude the primary heart disease.
Tachycardia can be caused by a variety of factors. If the tachycardia is not relieved or other clinical symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor immediately to avoid delaying your condition.
