The reasons for tachycardia are as follows.

- Poor blood supply to the heart muscle. This may be due to coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis), heart valve disease, heart failure, heart muscle disease, tumors, or infections.
- High blood pressure.
- Lung diseases.
- Electrolyte imbalance.
- Alcohol or drug abuse.
- Emotional stress.
- Drinking large amounts of alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, sodas, coffee, tea, and energy drinks.
If you have any other symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness, fainting, etc., then consult a cardiologist for proper physical evaluation and treatment if needed.
He may also prescribe some medicine to control heartbeat and blood pressure.
