I have that. My heart rate was at 250 bpm, and it happened to me about 5 different times. The doctors finally prescribed me atenolol, and it works great.\n\nThe doctor explained it to me like this. You were born with basically loose wires in your heart that give off electrical impulses which cause rapid heart beat. As far as surgery goes, there is a procedure where the insert a catheter into the vein in your leg, and direct it to your heart. They use an ultrasound to zap the electical impulses and loose wires. Sometimes this is successful. Sometimes the doctors miss some and have to go back in for more, and sometimes they zap your heart and you end up with a pacemaker for the rest of your life. That's why I chose to stick with taking a pill everyday.\n\nThe practices the other poeple desribed can be used to stop an episode, but it won't completely cure the issue.

I have heart disease and my heart used to beat really fast, almost like I had a double heart beat (it's called a "flutter").  I would ask your doctor about it and see if they can send you to a heart specialist.  Heart disease can be a major problem if it's not treated right away.  \n\nYou might have arrythmia or tachycardia or it could be a panic attack, those aren't any fun either.  I would talk to your doctor.  He would know for sure.

anything that gets ur heart rate up for at least 30 minutes a day. Any simple task like walking can do the trick.

I can't imagine that there is a way to lower it overnight, but I can make a suggestion that has lowered my husband's blood pressure within 3 weeks and maintains it.\n\nIn the same way, my husband tried dietary changes and cardio workouts, but nothing worked until he added ViaViente to his diet.  It is a 100% natural, whole food juice.  After 3 weeks, he went from 140+ to 117.  After 3 months, he is at a stable 110.  He does not take any medications and no dietary supplements.  He swears by ViaViente.  I can only recommend it and hopefully your husband may want to give it a try because it's a natural way to keep his body operating at optimal levels.

depends on what type of heart chronic diseases or heart failures.\nit may not be a cure, but you can 'preserve' your heart & live a longer life.\nwhen going for ballooning procedures, you can salvage the heart musclewhen you suffer from heart attck.

I would first see doc to rule out REAL heart problems, and that cleared, you'll need to work on your de-stressing methods. They are highly individual (my mom pounces on her crocheting when in extreme stress, can you imagine?), what works for one, might not work at all for another. Try exercising (VERY important: choose something that appeals to you - if you hate running, no point in even trying), yoga, meditation, crossword puzzles, acupuncture, massage, - whatever you think might work. Of course, there's always medication - anti anxiety drugs, sedatives, a drink or two, a joint. But these are acute, short-lived treatments. Work on it. Stress is extremely dangerous in the long run - it produces cortisol that floods your body and that's an enzyme whose only role is to switch off the immune system so it can lead to real illnesses; it constricts the blood vessels, raises the blood pressure and all of it in the long run will damage your cardiovascular system, and other organs like kidneys... Address the problem. It's real.

Definately call your doc.  However i CAN tell you that you'll prob want to avoid cold meds with decongestants like pseudo-effedrine (sp?) because it can raise your heart rate, cause/aggrevate heart arrythmias, and raise blood pressure.\nEither way, def call your doc or his nurse to be sure!

Sometimes when aggression flares up and you have no outlet to express it (like, for instance, you're on the phone and you have to be relatively polite) it doesn't always feel good. Adrenaline can actually hurt, given too much. \n\nThat being said, whenever your heart is effected, you want to get it checked out. Regardless of the cause, tachycardia (heart beating too fast) is bad, unless you're excercising. If it happens again, I would make an appointment. Don't stress over it, just bear it in mind and talk to your PCP about it.\n\nGood Luck.

Not unless you have associated symptoms.Heart palpitations can be caused by numerous things,some being:\nExercise\nAnxiety, stress, fear \nFever\nCaffeine, nicotine, cocaine, diet pills \nOveractive thyroid\nAnemia \nThere are of course many others. As someone who suffers from an Arrhythmia,try some of these.I rule out coffee,chocolate,coca-cola, pepsi,and smoking.These do  help.\nReducing stress and anxiety can help lessen your heart palpitations. Try breathing exercises or deep relaxation (a step-by-step process of tensing and then relaxing every muscle group in your body) at the time of your heartbeat sensations. Also, consider practicing yoga or tai chi on a regular basis to reduce the frequency of your palpitations.\nKeep a record of how often you have palpitations, when they happen, how long they last, your heart rate at the time of the palpitations, and what you are feeling at the time. If you have never had heart palpitations before, bring them to the attention of your doctor. He or she will do a work up to determine the cause and whether they are treatable or not.\n Things to watch for.\nYou feel frequent extra heartbeats (more than 6 per minute or coming in runs of 3 or more).\nYou have new or different heart palpitations.\nYour pulse is more than 100 beats per minute (without exercise, anxiety, or fever).\nFrom what you say,I feel your stress is the cause of your problem. Try to ease your stress levels, or see your doctor for help .

i just had to get over being so tired after my doctor said that i had to quit cuz of my heart i have Long QT Syndrome (the time in between your heart beats) and i have a heart arrhythmia problem (when your heart has an irregular beat) so Doc said no more caffeine and there was nothing that i could do other than just ride it out cuz i had to quit so that's all the advice that i can give you.....although you might try this site you might find something hopefully it helps you   \n \nwww.medterms.com

You need to see a doctor, a specialist. Go to an Endocrinologist. You may also want to see a Cardiologist since your heart rate is very fast. Only the experts should be giving you a diagnosis and treatment for this.Good luck to you.

I don't think water would have anything to do with it. Have you tried Gingko Biloba for the ringing? I know someone who was skeptical about taking it, but, he was pleasantly surprised when it actually worked. You can get it at a health food store, or even wal mart by now.

that the heart rate goes up fast exercise then at rest comes back quickly to normal is ok.\nthe important thing to look for (after you said the coronaries were ok) is systolic dysfunction,\nthat can be cleared by doing an exercise echocardiogram.\n\nof course age has something to do with it too.

Tachycardia has six main causes that I can think of and within those main categories are many sub-causes of which I have just listed a few examples.\n\n1.  Low volume/not enough blood.\nProfuse bleeding\nAnemia\nLoss of blood pressure (like taking a Nitrate with Viagra)or with anaphylaxis.\n\n2.  Inadequate oxygen delivery\nLung collapse (pneumothorax)\nAsthma\nCarbon monoxide poisoning\n\n3.  Increased metabolic function\nThroid dysfunction\nAdrenal dysfunction\nPituitary dysfunction\nFever\n\n4.  Heart disorder \nAtrial tachycardia\nSupraventricular tachycardia\nMyocardial infarction\nAortic stenois\nHeart failure\n\n5.  Stimulants\nCaffiene\nCocaine\nTheophylline\nAlbuterol\n\n6.  Physiologic\nRunning a marathon\nFright/anxiety\n\nThese are all that I can think of off the top of my head, there may be even more main categories; but I think you have the idea that MANY things can cause persistently fast heart rate.
