The characteristic of heart position is that the heart rate speeds up and slows down gradually, usually not exceeding 140 beats per minute. Most people without organic heart disease usually have no obvious discomfort, but sometimes have symptoms such as palpitations and shortness of breath.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia can reach a heart rate of 160 to 200 beats per minute and is characterized by sudden onset and sudden cessation. It can occur in patients with or without organic heart disease. During an attack, the patient suddenly feels panic and has a faster heart rate, which lasts for several minutes, hours or even days, and then suddenly returns to normal heart rate.

During an attack, the patient will experience palpitations, chest tightness, discomfort in the precordial area, and swelling and throbbing in the head and neck. People without heart disease generally have no major impact, but when the attack lasts for a long time and the heart rate is over 200 beats per minute, the patient will experience blacking out, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and may even suddenly faint or go into shock due to a drop in blood pressure. Tachycardia in patients with coronary heart disease often induces angina pectoris.
