Tachycardia
Is tachycardia related to being overweight?
Tachycardia generally has no relation to obesity. Clinically, tachycardia can be categorized into sinus tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and other types, none of which have a definitive relation to obesity. There are many causes of tachycardia, such as fever, hyperthyroidism, and anemia. Additionally, certain structural heart diseases and pulmonary diseases can also lead to tachycardia. While obesity itself introduces a range of issues like hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and other metabolic abnormalities, which might affect the heart rate, this impact is usually not severe.
Is it serious if young people have tachycardia?
Because patients often experience this kind of tachycardia and do not need special treatment, if the patient experiences palpitations and chest tightness, sometimes active treatment is still necessary. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram. Early coronary heart disease or myocardial ischemia can also cause tachycardia, but for asymptomatic tachycardia, it is only necessary to observe regularly. In terms of diet, it is still necessary to have a low-salt, low-fat diet, and regularly monitor changes in the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse. If the patient's blood pressure rises, sometimes it is necessary to actively manage it by using some antihypertensive drugs.
