How to adjust the heart rate of the elderly if it is too fast

Healthy elderly people in a quiet state, the heartbeat is 60 to 100 beats per minute, and as the age increases, the heartbeat will slow down, but there are some elderly people whose heartbeat exceeds 100 times, which is fast heartbeat. Fast heartbeat is not conducive to the physical health of the elderly, especially if there are heart diseases.

How to adjust the heart rate of the elderly if it is too fast

Elderly people have a fast heartbeat, and the ECG test should be improved as soon as possible to clarify the specific nature of the fast heartbeat. The elderly have a fast heartbeat, and common pathological causes are tachycardia, such as sinus tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, or ventricular tachycardia.

Another condition that belongs to severe arrhythmias and premature beats, such as frequent atrial premature beats and ventricular premature beats, can also have a fast heart rate accompanied by obvious clinical symptoms. This needs to be based on electrocardiogram or 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram to clarify the specific nature of rapid heart rate, and then respond to treatment according to the corresponding examination results.

Older adults with a fast heartbeat need to take care to avoid excessive fatigue, avoid excessive exercise, reduce stress, eliminate smoking and alcohol, improve sleep, avoid excessive mood swings, avoid tension and anxiety, and avoid drinking stimulating drinks such as strong tea, strong coffee, and spicy foods. Because these factors stimulate the sympathetic nervous system to excit, resulting in tachycardia attacks and increased blood pressure.

Fish oil can be properly supplemented for a period of time, which can reduce the heart rate, because fish oil helps improve the heart's response to the vagus nerve, which can make the heart beat slower in a quiet state and better protect the heart. The supplement of fish oil should be scientific and reasonable, and it can not be blindly supplemented, and can be supplemented under the guidance of professional doctors.

It is also possible to do proper exercise to improve mood and adjust mentality. At the same time, the nature of tachycardia and what arrhythmias are present should be ascertained. Electrocardiogram and ambulatory electrocardiogram are required, and cardiac electrophysiology is done if needed, followed by different treatment measures depending on the arrhythmia.

Maintain a good lifestyle, eat light food, and don't overeat. Choose lighter work when working, avoid excessive stress and heavy physical labor, maintain emotional stability, and combine work and rest at work.

Pay attention to go to the hospital in time to find the cause of tachycardia, actively control the diseases that cause tachycardia, and avoid long-term tachycardia leading to a significant increase in the burden on the heart and causing adverse consequences.
