Answered by Specialist Doctor II Nguyen Quoc Viet - Interventional Cardiologist - Department of Examination & Internal Medicine - Vinmec Da Nang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is your heart beating fast 118/min?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The average heart rate of an adult is about 60 - 90 cycles/minute. currently your heart rate is 118 cycles/min which is fast. There are many causes (such as anxiety, nervousness, stress, strong emotions, or common medical causes such as thyroid gland,...).
Regarding your condition, it is not possible to determine the cause of the rapid heart rate. Therefore, you should visit a hospital with a cardiologist to get the appropriate tests done, from which the doctor will advise and treat appropriately.
If you still have questions about heart palpitations, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
