Three highs and heart rate

The heart rate should not be lower than 60 beats and not higher than 100 beats per minute. A heart rate lower than 64 beats is bradycardia, and a heart rate higher than 100 beats is tachycardia. Some people have high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and three highs in their bodies. It is normal for these three highs to lead to irregular heartbeat. Generally, it is necessary to adjust it reasonably and combine it with exercise.

The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. A rate of less than 60 is called bradycardia. There are several types of bradycardia, the most common of which is sinus bradycardia.

Sinus bradycardia can be divided into pathological and physiological types. Physiological sinus bradycardia is a normal phenomenon. The general heart rate and pulse are 50 to 60 beats per minute. Athletes may have a heart rate of 40 beats per minute. No treatment is required. It is common in normal people during sleep and those who engage in more physical activities. A heart rate or pulse of less than 50 beats is mostly pathological and requires treatment. In severe cases, a pacemaker may be installed to speed up the heart rate.

Bradycardia can be physiological or pathological. Physiological bradycardia does not require treatment and is a normal reaction. Pathological bradycardia requires treatment, which is mainly due to insufficient blood supply to the heart, causing increased heart load. Therefore, a combination of oxygen therapy and drug therapy is the best and most effective treatment.

Normal people, especially those who participate in long-term physical exercise or heavy physical labor, may experience sinus bradycardia. Sleepiness and fear can also cause temporary bradycardia. For example, some techniques such as compressing the eyeball, pressing the carotid sinus, vomiting, and vasoinhibitory syncope can cause sinus bradycardia. For severe sinus bradycardia, especially in those with a history of fainting, an adult heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute is called bradycardia. However, for those who have undergone long-term physical exercise or heavy physical labor, although their heart rate is only 50 to 60 beats per minute, they are energetic and have no discomfort, so they are not pathological. If the normal heart rate is 70 to 80 beats per minute and drops below 40 beats per minute, the patient will feel palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness and fatigue. In severe cases, there will be difficulty breathing, stuffy brain, and sometimes a feeling of impact in the precordial area. In more serious cases, the patient may suddenly faint due to insufficient cardiac output.

First aid methods

For patients with bradycardia and chest tightness and palpitations, and a heart rate below 40 beats per minute, 0.3-0.6 mg (1-2 tablets) of atropine can be taken 3 times a day. In emergency, 0.5 mg (1 vial) of atropine can be injected intramuscularly. Or take propantheline 15 mg (1 tablet) orally, 3 to 4 times a day. Take 2-3 bottles of Shengmai Drink and 25 mm (1 tablet) of ephedrine orally 3 times a day. If a patient faints due to ischemia of the heart or brain, the patient should lie quietly with the head low and feet high, and make sure to keep warm. Loosen the collar and belt, pinch the Ren Zhong acupoint with your fingers to wake the person up, and send him to the hospital for treatment immediately. An artificial pacemaker should be installed in time.
