What are the effective ways to manage tachycardia?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A high heart rate in itself is not necessarily a cause for concern, as it can result from various factors. It may originate from the heart's electrical system, which controls its mechanical pumping movements. Additionally, an overactive thyroid gland can contribute to a high heart rate. The nervous system also plays a crucial role in regulating heart function; if there is an issue with this regulation, it can lead to changes in heart rate.

Similarly, chest pain can have multiple causes. One major reason is a lack of blood supply to the heart muscles, which can cause chest pain. Infections in the heart or lung areas may also lead to discomfort. In a female patient of your age, symptoms like these could be related to anxiety, although nothing can be determined without a thorough evaluation by a cardiologist and an endocrinologist. Anxiety can lead to pounding sensations in the chest, and pain may be felt around the heart, often worsening when lying down or during moments of mental distraction.

In my opinion, the next best step is to seek a thorough evaluation from your primary care physician, who can refer you to a cardiologist and an endocrinologist. While your EKG (electrocardiogram) indicated tachycardia, this simply means you have a high heart rate, which is not a disease in itself. Tachycardia is a symptom of an underlying issue, which could be any of the factors mentioned above. Once those factors have been ruled out by specialists, your physician can then refer you to a psychiatrist for further evaluation to determine if anxiety is a contributing factor, which can be treated appropriately.

I would advise against suggesting any medications based solely on limited information regarding your health status, as doing so could be dangerous for your heart without knowing the root cause of the issue. Medications can have side effects and may be harmful if taken without a clear indication.

Some precautions I recommend include avoiding tea, coffee, cigarettes, and alcohol, as these can all increase heart rate and exacerbate symptoms. Engage in regular exercise and maintain a balanced, healthy diet. I suggest consuming more vegetables, fruits, and salads compared to meat, with seafood being a beneficial choice. Additionally, regularly check your blood pressure to monitor for any irregularities.

I hope this information helps. Please feel free to ask more questions if you need further assistance. I would be happy to help.

Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

We cannot predict what is happening with your heart without further investigations. If there were a blockage, it may have shown up on the EKG (electrocardiogram) you had. However, the EKG showed no signs of blockage and only indicated tachycardia (an abnormally rapid heart rate). Yet, this is not the only test that can rule out heart issues. In my opinion, every patient experiencing chest pain should be examined by a cardiologist for a proper evaluation, and I suggest the same for you. Your cardiologist may recommend a 2D echocardiography and a treadmill test (exercise stress test) as needed. These tests will provide a clearer picture of the status of the heart chambers and the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart itself.

As I am not a specialist in Ayurveda, I cannot comment on Ayurvedic treatments. However, based on the results of the available investigations, I can suggest a management plan to help with your pain and discomfort. You can create a beneficial supplement at home using natural extracts that may be good for your heart and blood vessels. Combine equal quantities of small lemon extract, moringa (drumstick tree) bark extract, garlic extract, ginger extract, fresh coconut water, and pure honey. The suggested usage is to take 10 mL in the morning and evening on an empty stomach for a month. I also recommend starting regular exercise to strengthen your heart and body, as this will alleviate much of your pain.

Please feel free to contact me after you have completed all of the above recommendations. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can reach out to me anytime, and I would be happy to assist you.
