What is the treatment for unstable tachycardia?

Treatment for unstable tachycardia involves immediate cardioversion, which is the delivery of an electric shock to the heart to restore normal rhythm. It is important to quickly stabilize the heart rate to prevent further complications such as inadequate blood flow to vital organs. After cardioversion, the underlying cause of the tachycardia should be identified and treated accordingly.

Why does stress cause tachycardia?

Stress triggers the release of stress hormones like adrenaline, which can increase heart rate. This response is part of the body's "fight or flight" mechanism, preparing the body to respond quickly to perceived threats. Tachycardia is the body's way of increasing blood flow and oxygen to your muscles and organs to help you deal with the stressful situation.
