What do you do if your heart beats faster than normal?

Answer 1

Exercise! This gets your heart pumping blood quickly. Biking, running, jumping, and all of the sort will get your heart rate up.

Also, it is proven that when someone is excited or scared, their heart may beat faster. However, this does not work as well or for as long as exercise.

Beware! Don't get your heart pumping too fast. Just like machinery, it needs a rest or it will conk out. If you feel tired, cramping, or pains, stop your physical activities quickly and take a break.

Answer 2

You need to find out why!

Anxiety is an obvious cause and fever another, but maybe more serious. Like me you could have Asthma, which makes you breathless and overloads your heart making it beat fast to keep up with the oxygen demand. Also, like me, people have heart problems which affect the blood pumping ability and make the heart beat fast to keep up.

What is your pulse rate? Tell me what the rate is and whether it feels regular i.e beat-beat-beat-beat or beat-beat-skip-beat-beat-skip. Have you any other symptoms like with your breathing?

Better still, go and let your doctor have a good listen to your heart and lungs and have anything else you need done too - believe me, your heart is very precious...

Sinus tachycardia is a heart rate of more than 100 BPM which is classed as high. High heart rate decreases coronary blood flow which can be very serious- leading to ishemic heart disease ( where part of the heart is starved of oxygen) which causes the heart muscle to die. This only occurs at heart rates of 200 or more.Normally the heart can work perfectly fine at a heart rate of 130 BPM. However if the heart rate is increased to very high heart rates 200 - 600 BPM this can lead to more serious problems. Fibbrilation could occur at very high heart rates 400-600 BPM.Coronary blood flow is reduced with a heart rate of more than 100 usally it causes no symptoms in which case it does NOT need treatment. High heart rates can causes chest pain becauses of limited coronary blood flow, In these cases treatment will need to be given.

Answer 4

Things I do to stop it are bearing down like having a bowel movement, you should feel pressure build up in your head neck area. Another is rubbing the side of your neck where your main artery is.

Answer 5

When you exert force and exercise you are using the fuel from food and oxygen to convert the food energy to kinetic energy. Because there is an increase of oxygen use your body is trying to supply increased oxygen to your cells.

Answer 6

Your Heart is a muscle so like any other muscle if it is getting worked hard it gets stronger. When your heart starts to beat faster it's just working harder. Lots of aerobic exercises do this like running, swimming ect... It is not bad if your heart gets worked hard and it stars to beat faster.
