    A heart rate in adults that is greater than 100 beats per minute is technically defined as Tachycardia. Many things can cause tachycardia like fever, shock, medications, stress, metabolic dysfunction, or damage to the heart muscle and hypoxemia to name a few. Perfusion problems may develop when the heart beats too fast and the ventricles are not able to fully fill with blood. This can cause a decrease in cardiac output, poor perfusion and hemodynamic instability. It’s important to quickly assess the patient's signs and symptoms and see if they are a result of the tachycardia, find the underlying causes and treat them.

    I actually have this as a heart condition, the highest my heart has been was about 255,this was my worst attack, my heart's usually around 120 or a bit higher.

      Fucking hell that's a crazy high normal rate, I was admitted to the emergency department a couple weeks ago and pumped with drugs because I had an episode where I couldn't get it below 120.

    i have tachycardia, i also have EDS. I have to get an echocardiogram every 5 years except next time they’re making me do a full body CT scan or something like that (it’s gonna be in 2026). and they’ve never said my heart is abnormal or nothing concerning has ever been conveyed to me about my heart, but it’s always high and annoying to explain to nurses when i go to the hospital or doctors lol. I might have to eventually go on heart meds to slow it bc i’m on ADHD meds which supposedly is supposed to speed it up but honestly i think they’ve slowed it, but i do definitely still get moments where my heart goes up to like 200bpm for no reason lmao

    is tachycardia bad no matter the cause? i've been using adderall (recommended dose, not abusing) but I've developed tachycardia and occasionally when it's quite elevated I can find breathing a bit more difficult. Does the mean I should or need to quit the medication? i greatly benefit from the medication; however, my health is more important.

      I'm assuming it is for ADHD? I've been doing a lot of research on these kinds of things because I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD and my psychologist told me and my family to consider ADHD medication for me. There are so many more stimulant and non-stimulant options. I don't know if it is true or not but I heard with Adderall it can damage your heart. Again it may be true and may not. A lot of people have similar problems with it. It is probably smart to talk to your doctor or a psychiatrist about it.

    *The most aggrivating thing about tachycardia is that I STILL don't know how to explain what it feels like when I have an episode. My family has been worried about my condition, and my friends. I take 50mg of Atenolol every morning and I'm basically cured, but episodes happen. It KILLS me that I can't tell my Mom and Dad what I feel when it happens.*

    Long covid causes this. I believe it’s heart inflammation as a result and takes a month or so to subside. During this avoid very strenuous exercise and get blood checked for Tonin in the blood as for this in your blood test. Also the supplement NAC is supposed to help as well as Bromoline (pineapple).

      Okay so along as it's not over 140 while sitting your okay even if it goes in the 200 your still be fine when you have the chest pains that's when you should worry. However I was diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and I'm on beta blockers. I still have them from time to time but the most that ever happens is unbelievable fear.... I stopped showing up too the ER every time I had one because there basically nothing they can do other then refer you too your PCD aka primary care doctor too set you up an appointment with a cardiologist. Just take your time lay down and read or somethings when it happens. Yoga and breathing exercises do help as well. If 30mins have passed and it's still in the 140s or higher you need to go to the er. If it's been 30mins and it's like 120 your okay your heart is adjusting. I hope this helps iv lived with this for past 34years and it's basically a battle.
