Chronic rhinitis does not normally elevate the heart rate. If the degree of rhinitis is more severe, and the patient has symptoms such as prolonged and severe persistent nasal congestion, snoring while sleeping, or even breath-holding, the symptoms such as fast heart rate, chest tightness, and panic may be induced.
The most common symptoms of chronic rhinitis are nasal congestion, decreased sense of smell and nasal discharge. According to the severity of symptoms can be divided into chronic simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis.
Chronic simple rhinitis patients with nasal congestion is generally intermittent or alternating, through nasal spray glucocorticoids, vasoconstrictor contraction of the nasal mucosa can be achieved a better effect, generally does not lead to increased heart rate.
The degree of nasal congestion in patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is more severe, usually persistent nasal congestion. If the patient is accompanied by severe persistent nasal congestion for a long period of time, snoring while sleeping, or even breath-holding, the patient may induce symptoms such as fast heart rate, chest tightness, and panic.
Patients are advised to treat chronic rhinitis in an active and standardized manner. If the patient has an elevated heart rate perhaps go to a specialist to improve the electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound and other tests, need to rule out cardiogenic factors.
