The pressure is normal and the pulse is high, what should I do?

An increased pulse with normal blood pressure is quite common in people, and not only in old age, but also in young years. What then to do, what actions to take?

First of all, you may need to undergo a comprehensive examination, pass some types of tests and, most likely, you will have to seek advice from a therapist and an endocrinologist.

Why the heart rate may be elevated

Official medicine has established that a normal heartbeat is when the heart rate is within 60-80 beats per 60 seconds. When this figure exceeds 100 beats, then experts suggest that a person has a disease called tachycardia.

Doctors have long established that the frequency of heart beats can change not only during physical exertion or in a state of excitement, but also fluctuate throughout the day. For example, a person can have the lowest heart rate during sleep, usually at night, and also in the morning. And the increased rhythm of contractions of the heart is more often observed in the evening. The most interesting thing is that the pressure is normal. Doctors also calculated that during the daytime, the heart rate can fluctuate - the difference can be 10 beats up or down.

However, in a healthy person, an increased pulse quickly returns to normal after the cause of the increase is eliminated. And in a person who has any diseases, especially from the side of the cardiovascular system, the heartbeat cannot recover for a long time, although the pressure is normal. Even after short physical exertion, and sometimes just in a resting position. Blame everything, basically, tachycardia.

Tachycardia comes in two forms. The first form of the disease is physiological. It occurs as a result of excessive loads associated with physical labor during active sports. The body can also respond with rapid pulsation to various emotional factors, such as stress, anxiety, anxiety, and others.

Therefore, the pulse must be monitored, and if a spontaneous increase is noted, urgently seek qualified help.

By the way, with low blood pressure and increased heart rate, you can also talk about the precursors of tachycardia. Only a specialist can establish the true factors. Therefore, self-diagnosis in this case is not worth it in order to minimize the risk of complications of a different nature.

Tachycardia can be caused by various factors.

Here are some of them:

• Endocrine diseases. A lot depends on the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, in particular, the work of the heart. When the hormonal background goes astray - the level of hormones rises, then after this there is a rapid heartbeat, which in the language of the layman sounds like a high pulse.
• Violations in the work of the central nervous system often causes tachycardia.
• Blood poisoning or sepsis, as well as various purulent diseases, cause a rapid heartbeat.
• Intoxication caused by the use of certain forms of medications, narcotic substances, alcohol.
• Chronic form of anemia.
• Failures in the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system.
• Difficulty breathing (dyspnea) in diseases of the bronchopulmonary system. Most often, tachycardia against the background of such diseases is diagnosed in children.

An increased heart rate definitely has an impact on a person's condition. When the heartbeat quickens, there is weakness, tinnitus, dizziness. A person notes the appearance of sticky cold sweat, "flies" before the eyes.

But tachycardia, unfortunately, is dangerous not only with the symptoms described above. First of all, this disease is fraught with the occurrence of sudden arrhythmic shock, disorders of the cerebral circulation, fainting and other serious consequences.

What treatment will the doctor prescribe if the rhythm is frequent and the pressure is normal

What if the heart rate is high and blood pressure is normal? Which doctor should I contact and what treatment will help? This question is asked by many people. It has remained relevant for more than a decade. However, very often it is enough for a person to eliminate stressful situations, change the norms and quality of nutrition, establish a rest regimen and the heartbeat will return to normal. If this does not help, then it is not worth postponing a visit to a therapist, cardiologist and endocrinologist, since self-treatment is fraught with consequences and many of them are very serious.

And what to do if medical care is late, and a high pulse does not return to normal?

With a sharp, sudden increase in heart rate, the following measures should be taken:

• Loosen the tight collar of the garment by unbuttoning the top buttons. This will provide oxygen to the upper respiratory tract. Open a window in the room where the patient is.
• Place a towel soaked in cold water on the person's forehead.
• Ask the person to hold their breath for as long as possible and then exhale slowly. Do everything without fuss, you can not worry.
• Offer a person during an attack of tachycardia herbal tea, sedatives, or you can make green tea with milk, which helps well with excitement.

When attacks of tachycardia occur periodically, then, first of all, it is worth thinking about preventive measures. To do this, it is required to exclude from the diet all foods that act on the cardiac system excitingly, as well as give up the use of strong alcoholic beverages and stop smoking. You should try to get rid of extra pounds, because obesity is one of the factors that primarily affects the state of the cardiovascular system.

Naturally, it is most likely that it will not be possible to cope with tachycardia alone, so it is necessary to undergo an examination. After that, the doctor will prescribe the necessary treatment.

An endocrinologist, if normal pressure and increased heart rate are diagnosed, which is due to thyroid dysfunction, will prescribe a course of hormone therapy.

After establishing the causes of increased heart rate in the case of vegetovascular dystonia, a cardiologist or therapist will prescribe treatment with drugs, sedatives and drugs from the group of beta-blockers.
