Tachycardia

Tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats at a faster than normal rate. The normal heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute, and tachycardia is when the heart rate is over 100 beats per minute. This condition can be caused by several different factors, such as anemia, dehydration, stress, or the use of certain medications. It can also be caused by an underlying medical condition such as an overactive thyroid, pulmonary embolism, or an arrhythmia. Tachycardia can cause a variety of symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fainting. Treatment for tachycardia depends on the cause, but may include medications to control the heart rate, lifestyle changes to reduce stress, or surgery. It is important to identify the cause of tachycardia in order to treat it effectively.
