Causes of severe palpitations

Rapid heart rate may be quite adequate reaction of our body for too much physical activity and stress. But this is not always the case. The causes of severe rapid heart rate may be varied. Sometimes a heartbeat exceeding ninety beats per minute, along with the manifestation of other symptoms, may indicate serious health problems.

Neurosis of the heart

Neurosis of the heart( another name - cardio phobia) is a neurotic disorder. This is a common psychosomatic disease. The rhythm of the heart is uneven, characterized by periodic attacks, which can last from 5 minutes to an hour. In this case, the patient has shortness of breath, there may be severe pain in the chest, probably an increase in blood pressure. Also, he can have a serious fear of death.

Syndrome of hyperkinesia of the heart

Accelerated heart rhythm is the main symptom of this deviation. The heart as though more intensively works, than it is necessary for an organism. Most often this disorder is diagnosed in young men, while their heart is healthy, that is, doctors do not show any organic changes. The causes of the syndrome of hyperkinesia of the heart are not known.

Increased function of the thyroid gland

Palpitation becomes noticeable when the function of the thyroid gland rises. The somatic reason that the heart must always beat faster and faster than the body requires is explained by the fact that the thyroid gland continuously produces an excessive amount of hormones. In addition to violations of the heartbeat, symptoms such as sweating, nervousness, and weight loss may appear.

Uneven Heartbeat

If the patient feels that the heart beats with short series of strokes, then this indicates a violation of the function of the ventricles of the heart. The palpitation is disturbed due to the fact that the ventricle of the heart decreases more quickly than necessary. The rhythm of the heart can become "pounding", although more often single solitary extrasystoles are observed. If these symptoms are repeated repeatedly, it is necessary that the doctor determines their cause. There are cases when this condition is not dangerous, and it occurs even in healthy people. Sometimes the rhythm of the heart is disturbed by heart disease.

Rapid heart rate with

fever. With fever, an increased heart rate is a natural reaction to the disease, which does not require much anxiety. He comes back to normal as soon as the fever disappears.

In many cases, the rapid heartbeat causes a person to panic, which increases the heart rate even more and causes deterioration of the body, which becomes much less able to cope with such an "attack".It is very important not to be nervous and not to be afraid, but if the feeling of danger and the fear of death do not leave you, when your heart rate increases, you should seek help from a psychotherapist. He will explain to you that you need to keep calm, and can also prescribe medications that can help cope with obsessive fears.

A specific description of the state of the cardiovascular system can be obtained only with the help of detailed studies, including stress tests and conventional ECG.Most often, the source of heart failure is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which ensures the correct functioning of the heart muscle. Dystonia, that is, a malfunction in the autonomic nervous system, entails the development of tachycardia and arrhythmias that threaten human health and can lead to death. At a young age, the causes of severe palpitation may be violations of the thyroid gland. Often - insomnia, stress, love, that is, something that can not be called a disease in the usual sense of the word.

If the heartbeat is disturbed

• If you notice a strong heartbeat, then it is recommended that you immediately lie down or at least sit down and try to calm down.
• Autogenous training and other relaxation techniques can help to normalize the heartbeat.
• If the heart rate is accelerated due to fright or physical exertion, treatment is not required in this case.
