I. Introduction
Heartbeat is an important physiological phenomenon in the human body, which reflects the contractile and diastolic activity of the heart. Normally, an adult's heart rate should be between 60-100 minutes. However, some people may experience a frequent acceleration of the heartbeat, which is a rate that exceeds the normal range. This phenomenon can be caused by a variety of reasons, and this article will elaborate on three of these possible factors and highlight the importance that should not be overlooked.
2. Autonomic dysregulation
The autonomic nervous system is the nervous system that regulates the activity of internal organs and vascular smooth muscles. It is made up of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, both of which antagonize each other and maintain balance. When the sympathetic nerves are overactive, it can lead to physiological responses such as increased heartbeat and increased blood pressure. This phenomenon of sympathetic overactivity is called autonomic dysregulation.
Autonomic dysregulation can be caused by a variety of causes, such as long-term stress, emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, and unhealthy lifestyle Xi habits such as lack of sleep and irregular diet. In order to alleviate the frequent acceleration of the heartbeat caused by autonomic dysregulation, the following measures are recommended:
1. Improve emotional state: learn to relax yourself and reduce stress and anxiety. Try relaxation training such as deep breathing, meditation, or engaging in exercises such as yoga and tai chi to relieve stress.
2. Adjust your Xi habits: Maintain sufficient sleep time and avoid staying up late. Maintain a regular diet and avoid overeating. Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake and avoid overstimulating the sympathetic nerves.
3. Heart disease
Heart disease is one of the common causes of frequent and accelerated heartbeats. For example, disorders such as arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, etc., can cause abnormalities in the conduction system of the heart, which can cause a rapid heartbeat. In addition, heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, etc., can also cause impaired heart function and cause the heart to beat faster.
In order to prevent and ** frequent acceleration of the heart rate caused by heart disease, the following measures are recommended:
1. Regular physical examination: Regular electrocardiogram, cardiac color ultrasound and other examinations are carried out to detect signs of heart disease in time.
2. Follow the doctor's advice**: If you are diagnosed with heart disease, you should follow the doctor's advice**, such as taking medication, undergoing surgery, etc.
3. Improve lifestyle: quit smoking and limit alcohol, and maintain low-salt, low-fat, high-fiber dietary Xi. Increase aerobic exercise, such as walking, swimming, etc., to improve cardiopulmonary fitness.
4. Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid hormone is oversecreted, resulting in hypermetabolism throughout the body. Thyroid hormones can cause the heart to contract and increase cardiac output, so when the thyroid is overactive, the heart beats faster. In addition to rapid heartbeat, hyperthyroidism may also be accompanied by symptoms such as sweating, weight loss, and insomnia.
In order to ** frequent acceleration of the heart rate due to hyperthyroidism, the following measures are recommended:
1. Drugs**: Take antithyroid drugs, such as methimazole, etc., according to the doctor's instructions to inhibit the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones.
2. Radioactive iodine**: through oral or injection of radioactive iodine, it destroys thyroid tissue and reduces the production of thyroid hormones.
3. Surgery**: For patients who are ineffective or have serious conditions, thyroidectomy can be considered.
5. Anemia
Anemia is a condition in which the number or quality of red blood cells in the blood is insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the ability to deliver oxygen. When the body is deprived of oxygen, the heart needs to beat faster to compensate for the lack of oxygen, resulting in a frequent acceleration of the heartbeat. Common symptoms of anemia include fatigue, fatigue, dizziness, etc.
For frequent acceleration of the heart rate caused by anemia, the following measures are recommended:
1. Iron supplementation: For patients with iron deficiency anemia, take iron as prescribed by the doctor to increase the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin content.
2. Adjust diet: Increase the intake of foods rich in iron, folic acid and vitamin B12, such as lean meat, green leafy vegetables, legumes, etc.
3. Primary disease: For the primary disease that causes anemia, such as chronic blood loss, renal insufficiency, etc.
6. Drugs***
Certain medications may cause the heart to beat faster and more frequently, such as adrenaline, caffeine, certain antidepressants, etc. These drugs can stimulate the heart, causing it to contract faster. In addition, certain illegal drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, etc., can also cause the heart to beat faster.
In order to avoid frequent and rapid heartbeats caused by the drug***, the following measures are recommended:
1. Follow the doctor's instructions: use the drug in strict accordance with the doctor's advice, and do not change the dosage or change the drug at will.
2. Understand the drug*** Before taking the drug, if there is a drug that may cause the heart to beat rapidly, you should consult a doctor.
3. Avoid illegal drugs: Stay away from illegal drugs and avoid using substances that may cause damage to the heart.
7. Other factors
In addition to the above reasons, there are some other factors that can cause the heart to beat frequently and rapidly, such as electrolyte imbalances (such as hypokalemia), infection, fever, etc. These factors can affect the heart's electrophysiological activity or increase the burden on the heart, causing the heart to beat faster.
In order to prevent and ** frequent acceleration of the heart rate caused by these other factors, the following measures are recommended:
1. Maintain electrolyte balance: Eat a reasonable diet and avoid excessive intake or lack of electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium. If you have symptoms of electrolyte imbalance, you should seek medical attention**.
2. Prevent infection: pay attention to personal hygiene, strengthen exercise, and improve immunity. If you have symptoms of infection, you should seek medical attention promptly**.
3. Control fever: For the rapid heartbeat caused by fever, physical cooling methods can be adopted, such as cold compresses, wiping, etc. If the fever persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly**.
8. Cardiac neurosis
Cardiac neurosis is a functional heart disease that is closely related to emotional and psychological factors. Patients often have symptoms such as palpitations and rapid heartbeat, but there are no organic lesions of the heart itself. Symptoms of cardiac neurosis are often worsened by anxiety, nervousness, or mood swings.
To alleviate the frequent acceleration of the heartbeat caused by cardiac neurosis, the following measures are recommended:
1. Psychological: Seek the help of professional psychological counselors for psychological support, such as cognitive behavior, psychodynamics, etc.
2. Lifestyle adjustment: maintain a regular work and rest time, exercise moderately, and avoid overwork. Learn Xi relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, etc.
3. Social activities: Actively participate in social activities, maintain communication with family and friends, and share your feelings and troubles.
9. Menopausal syndrome
Menopause is a natural process in which a woman's hormone levels change from childbearing age to non-childbearing age, which can lead to a range of physical and psychological symptoms, including a frequent and rapid heartbeat. Menopausal syndrome may also be accompanied by symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia.
To alleviate the frequent and rapid heartbeat caused by menopausal syndrome, the following measures are recommended:
1. Hormone replacement**: At the suggestion of a doctor, hormone replacement** can be considered to alleviate menopausal symptoms.
2. Adjust diet: increase the intake of foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as beans, black wolfberries, etc. At the same time, maintain a balanced diet and avoid foods that are high in fat and sugar.
3. Exercise and rest: Moderate exercise, such as yoga, walking, etc. Get enough sleep and avoid staying up late and overexerting.
10. Environmental factors
Environmental factors can also cause frequent and rapid heartbeat, such as high temperatures, high humidity, and high-altitude environments. These environmental factors can cause the body to respond to stress, causing the heart to beat faster to adapt to changes in the environment.
In order to prevent frequent acceleration of the heart rate caused by environmental factors, the following measures are recommended:
1. Avoid extreme environments: Try to avoid long-term exposure to high temperatures, high humidity or plateau environments. If you need to work or move in these environments, you should take precautions.
2. Replenish water: In a high temperature or high humidity environment, replenish water in time to avoid dehydration.
3. Adaptation to the environment: For situations that need to adapt to the new environment, such as altitude sickness, adaptation training can be carried out in advance or relevant drug preventive measures can be taken.
Frequent and rapid heartbeats can be caused by a variety of causes, including pathological causes such as heart disease, autonomic disorders, hyperthyroidism, and other factors such as anemia, medications***, etc. For frequent rapid heartbeat caused by different reasons, corresponding preventive and ** measures should be taken.
It is recommended that everyone pay attention to their physical condition, have regular physical examinations, and detect and ** potential health problems in time. At the same time, maintaining good life Xi and emotional state is very important to prevent frequent rapid heartbeat. If you have symptoms of frequent and rapid heartbeat, you should seek medical attention in time so that the doctor can formulate the corresponding ** plan according to the specific situation.
