Causes of fast heart rate in the morning

A fast heart rate is a very common symptom. Generally speaking, there are two types of fast heart rate. One is physiological, such as excessive emotions or intense exercise, which can cause a fast heart rate. In addition, some heart diseases, mental illnesses, or symptoms such as hyperthyroidism can cause a person's heart rate to be too fast. Pathologically fast heart rate requires treatment. Below, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about fast heart rate.

1. Causes

Physiological factors: such as excitement, exercise, etc.

Disease factors: such as abnormal cardiac conduction, viral myocarditis, hyperthyroidism, etc., which are related to lack of exercise and mental factors. Currently, only symptomatic supportive treatment is needed, combined with diet and moderate exercise.

2. Inspection

You can go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram to rule out atrioventricular bypass (preexcitation syndrome). Pathological tachycardia can be divided into two types: sinus tachycardia and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The characteristic of sinus tachycardia is that the heart rate accelerates and decelerates gradually, and usually the heart rate does not exceed 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.

3. First aid methods

Here are a few methods you can try:

1. Ask the patient to cough loudly.

2. Ask the patient to take a deep breath, hold his breath, and then exhale forcefully.

3. Fingers irritate the throat, causing nausea and vomiting.

4. Ask the patient to close his eyes and look down, and use his fingers to press the upper part of the eyeball under the eye socket, starting with the right eye. At the same time, take your pulse and count your heart rate. Once the tachycardia stops, stop the compression immediately. But be sure not to use too much force. Press for 10 minutes each time. If pressing on one side is ineffective, switch to the other side. Avoid pressing on both sides at the same time. Contraindicated in patients with glaucoma or high myopia. At the same time, take propranolol or propranolol tablets orally. If the above methods do not provide relief and the patient still feels dizzy. If you have cold sweats and cold limbs, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
