What to do if my heart beats too fast and I suffer from insomnia

A rapid heartbeat may be caused by nervousness or by drinking spicy food that causes nervous excitement. If this is the case, there is no need to worry, but if your heart beats too fast frequently, you should go to the hospital to check whether there is a heart problem. You should use the correct medication under the doctor's guidance. Generally, heart disease patients will experience a rapid heartbeat. They should pay attention to a light diet and avoid smoking and drinking.

1. If your heart rate increases after one night and you also have insomnia, you should check if there is anything abnormal in your lungs. In this case, appropriate treatment is usually given after a clear diagnosis.

2 At night, if your heart rate speeds up, you suffer from insomnia, hand tremors, emotional agitation, increased appetite, and weight loss, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up, an electrocardiogram, and a series of thyroid function tests to determine the cause.

3 This situation is considered to be caused by neurasthenia and autonomic nervous system disorder. It is recommended to avoid taking cola, coffee, chocolate, wine, and tea before going to bed, eat regularly, do not overeat, and eat on time. The diet should be light, eat less spicy, fried, deep-fried, strong alcohol and other indigestible and irritating foods, eat more fruits, vegetables and fibrous foods, and pay attention to improving the sleeping environment to reduce the excitement of the brain. Oral administration: Oral oryzanol tablets + vitamin B1 tablets + tranquilizing brain tonic liquid for conditioning. For difficulty falling asleep, it is recommended to take oral: Diazepam tablets. In addition, develop good rest habits, avoid fatigue, relieve your own pressure, and maintain a happy mood.

4 Insomnia is related to nervous and mental excitement. It is recommended that you pay attention to reducing the state of brain excitement, do gymnastics to relax properly before going to bed, avoid taking stimulating drinks (such as coffee, strong tea, etc.), do not smoke, brush your teeth, wash your teeth, keep your mouth clean, and pay attention to improving the sleeping environment, which is conducive to reducing the state of brain excitement and relaxing your mind. Take Qiye Shen'an Tablets and Brain Lingsu orally, and do not sleep during the day, save sleep for the night. Strengthen exercise during the day, and you will generally sleep better when you are physically tired.

5. To treat insomnia, we must first identify the cause.

1. If the insomnia is caused by physiological factors, it is mostly temporary. There is no need to panic. You can take some sleeping pills with anti-anxiety effects, such as diazepam and valium.

2. If the insomnia is caused by drugs, be careful not to take stimulants before going to bed, or take them before 4 pm (such as aminophylline, Ritalin), and avoid drinking tea and coffee before going to bed, and you will sleep well.

3. If it is physical insomnia, only physical diseases need to be treated, such as pain relief, itching relief, cough relief, etc.

4. If the insomnia is caused by mental factors, it should be treated symptomatically. For example, anxiety can be treated with anti-anxiety drugs or various tranquilizers; depression can be treated with antidepressants, such as amitriptyline and tamoxifen. The above two types of drugs are used together for better results. For patients with schizophrenia, antipsychotic drugs must be used, such as drupeline, clozapine, perphenazine, haloperidol, etc. These drugs should be used under the guidance of a psychologist or psychiatrist.

6 Consider sinus tachycardia. Sinus tachycardia is mostly caused by physiological or extracardiac factors, so no special treatment is needed. The treatment of tachycardia caused by pathological reasons is mainly aimed at the cause and the removal of inducing factors, such as treating heart failure, correcting anemia, controlling hyperthyroidism, etc. For those with symptoms caused by tachycardia, medication can be given to slow down the heart rate, such as metoprolol.
