Tachycardia is a disease that can be treated

Tachycardia is a condition in which the heart rate reaches or exceeds 90 beats per minute.

There are physiological and pathological tachycardia.

Physiological tachycardia is a reaction to physical or emotional stress, taking different medications, and also to raising body temperature.

Pathological tachycardia is a malfunction and disruption in the functioning of internal organs, that is, the entire body system.

This painful condition can overtake a person at any age. The emergence of tachycardia occurs under the influence of a number of factors.

Cardiac factors include myocardial infarction, heart defects, cardiosclerosis, stenocardia.

Stress, endocrine disorders, anemia, pain syndromes, and great physical exertion are considered to be endemic factors.

The manifestation of symptoms depends not only on the degree of the disease, but also on the factors that affected the onset of the disease. With a mild illness, the symptoms of an illness are not felt immediately, and sometimes they do not make themselves felt at all. Most often, patients complain of heart palpitations, often a feeling of heaviness in the heart.

In severe form of tachycardia, the following symptoms are noted: shortness of breath, lack of appetite, weakness, lack of air, high fatigue.

For diagnosis, echocardiography is used; MRI of the heart; ECG; Electrophysiological examination of the heart.

First of all, it is necessary to eliminate the source of the disease. To make a correct diagnosis, for a while you need to completely eliminate coffee, spicy and salty foods, spirits, exercise.

The disease affects not only adults, but also babies.

Pediatric tachycardia is a disease that can have an innate or acquired character.

In adolescence, the development of tachycardia is due to the presence of stressful situations or too much physical exertion. It is not excluded the occurrence of the disease against the background of lesions of the endocrine and nervous systems.

Symptoms in children and adults are identical. The child can feel pain behind the breastbone, noted shortness of breath, drowsiness, dizziness, sometimes there are faints, sweating. In infants it is more difficult to detect tachycardia, because they are still very small and can not describe the symptoms. Basically, tachycardia in children manifests itself in anxiety and capriciousness.

The doctor prescribes treatment in view of the cause of the onset of tachycardia. In most cases, when the cause of the heart problem is eliminated, the child disappears.

The fetal tachycardia is not the most rare situation. It is characterized by increased heart rate, which is detected by ultrasound. In general, this pathology passes right after delivery and in no way affects the general condition of the child. If the tachycardia does not disappear on its own, the child becomes whiny and sluggish. In this case, it is necessary to observe the specialist, and in the future, treatment.

If you have any symptoms of tachycardia, you should immediately consult a doctor.
