Causes of High Blood Pressure and a Rapid Heart Rate

• Causes of High Blood Pressure and a Rapid Heart
  Rate
• Is it good if your heart beats over 100 beats a
  minute and falls among the irregular rhythms? But
  not all types of irregular heart rhythms aren't
  always a concern.
• Firstly, Tachycardia is a condition in which the
  heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute. What
  causes it? It may be due to many things.
• Sinus tachycardia can is caused by
  strenuous exercise, fever, fear, stress,
  anxiety, some medications, and illicit drugs.
  It's caused by anemia, an overactive thyroid, a
  heart attack, or heart failure-related damage.
• It poses a massive risk for Caffeine addicts,
  alcoholics, and smokers. It is linked to heart
  attacks on occasion.
• The latter type is due to the abnormal electric
  pathways present from birth, structural problems
  of the heart such as cardiomyopathy, medications,
  or electrolyte imbalance.
• Symptoms of Tachycardia include
• Dizziness
• Lightheadedness
• Shortness of breath
• Chest Pain
• Heart palpitations
• The extreme cases could become unconscious or
  suffer cardiac arrest. Supraventricular
  Arrhythmias
• These begin in the atrium or upper part of the
  heart, which sends electrical signals.

• Who gets affected by Tachycardia?
• Atrial or supraventricular tachycardias can
  affect
• Women outnumber males.
• Children, particularly those with anxiety.
• Anyone who is highly fatigued or consumes
  excessive amounts of alcohol or caffeine.
• Heavy smokers.
• And Ventricular Tachycardia affect
• People with heart disease, heart attack,
  cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, or heart failure.
• People who smoke have hypertension or diabetes.
• In generally healthy individuals, the
  resting heart rate should be fewer than
  100 beats per minute. Though a person's resting
  heart rate remains persistently above 100, an
  irregular heart rhythm may be the explanation
  even when sitting quietly. A rapid heart rate may
  also indicate that the heart muscle has been
  weakened by a virus or other condition, causing
  it to beat more frequently to pump enough blood
  to the rest of the body. You can use a Blood
  Pressure Meter to measure blood pressure from the
  comfort of your home.
• In most cases, however, a rapid pulse is not
  caused by heart disease, as a variety of
  non-cardiac events can increase the heart rate.
  These include fever, a low red blood cell count
  (anemia), an overactive thyroid, and excessive
  caffeine or stimulant consumption, such as with
  some over- the-counter decongestants. In
  addition to worry and poor physical
  conditioning, the list continues.
• How is Tachycardia treated?
• Depending on the type of Tachycardia, treatments
  vary.
• Atrial or supraventricular tachycardia
  treatments
• Office-visit-related massages and manipulations
  performed by your doctor.

Several factors can induce a fast heart rate
(Tachycardia). Schedule an appointment with your
doctor. If you believe that your heart is
pounding too quickly. Shortness of breath,
weakness, dizziness, fainting, or near fainting,
and chest pain or discomfort are all signs that
you need immediate medical assistance.
