Faster Heartbeat: What Causes It and What to Do?

A faster heartbeat, also known as tachycardia, can be caused by various factors. Understanding the causes of this condition is essential to prevent a medical emergency.

Tachycardia can be caused by many medications, including antibiotics, antidepressants, and even certain supplements.

Types of Tachycardia

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a circulatory disorder that can make you feel faint & dizzy.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT): An arrhythmia causing faster heartbeats, palpitation, giddiness & breathing difficulties.

Atrial fibrillation: A heart rhythm disturbance that can cause an irregular heartbeat and shortness of breath.

Risk Factors for Tachycardia

Dehydration, low blood pressure, arrhythmia, and other problems can make you feel woozy and even faint.

A faster heartbeat can be a sign of an underlying heart condition, such as high blood pressure or cardiac arrhythmias.

Treatment for Tachycardia

Consult with your doctor to determine the best course of treatment for tachycardia. They may prescribe medication or recommend lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms.
