Sinus tachycardia: is it worth worrying?

If we talk about such a pathology as sinus tachycardia, it should be noted that this disease is characterized by a malfunction of the heart rhythm, that is, instead of the usual 70 heart rate rapidly increases to a hundred or more. What is the reason for this anomaly? As it turned out, this sinus node is provoked by such accelerated impulses, but all the heart structures function in the usual mode, and the sequence of the ventricles and atria is adjusted, that is, there is a question of increasing the automatism of the sinoatrial node.

This phenomenon does not reveal itself in any way, and it can be noticed only when performing a routine ECG or when calculating the pulse. As for the age category, it should be noted that most often sinus tachycardia is affected by young organisms, which in every way contributes to the immaturity of the nervous system, as, as is known, the normalization of the heart rate corresponds to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

In order to understand how to get rid of tachycardia, it is necessary to track the dynamics of this pathological process. So, the motor skills of the sympathetic nervous system are observed as a result of the release of adrenaline, which leads to increased blood pressure and pulse, and the motor activity of the parasympathetic nervous system shows an absolutely opposite effect. Under normal operation of the body, these two systems are mutually balanced, shifting if necessary in one direction or another, but remaining in the norm.

In young people, such a balance is very shaky, since the two parts of the nervous system constantly "compete" with each other, therefore sinus tachycardia becomes aggravated, significantly disrupting the habitual heart rhythm.

However, it should be clarified that the external causes of this pathology can be many, including physical work, stress, fever, thyroid disease smoking, anemia. And, in spite of the fact that sinus tachycardia itself does not harm health, the pathogenic factor of its aggravation can be "detrimental" to the general condition of the organism.

Symptoms of this pathology, in contrast to other types of tachycardia, are relatively mild and very often occur in the total absence of any complaints from the affected body, rarely the patient clearly feels palpitations, excessive drowsiness and fatigue, but learns about the prevalence of tachycardia, exclusively Counting his own pulse. Anyway, sinus tachycardia requires timely medical diagnosis, which consists in performing an electrocardiographic examination. It should be clarified that mild, moderate sinus tachycardia with functional impairment does not require medical treatment. But if other forms of tachycardia have been identified and documented, it is necessary to undergo a course of productive treatment.

Sinus tachycardia is treated in stages, but first you need to reliably identify the cause that caused its progression. Basically, after treatment of a characteristic disease that caused a tachycardia, the disease passes. It is extremely rare to recommend special medications that soothe the "emotional" rhythm of the heart. In such cases, prescribe small doses of B-blockers, which can in a matter of minutes eliminate such anomalous phenomenon as sinus tachycardia.

Hence it can be summed up: treatment of such cardiac dysfunction completely depends on its type and cause of exacerbation. It is often sufficient to eliminate the pathogenic factor in order to restore a normal heart rhythm. Sometimes medication is recommended , surgery is much less often indicated. One way or another, you need to be vigilant about your "motor".
