Answered by Specialist Doctor II Nguyen Quoc Viet - Interventional Cardiologist - Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine - Vinmec Danang International Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is tachycardia dangerous and how is it treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Normally, our heart rate is about 60-100 cycles/minute. However, this number also depends on many factors such as age (infants and young children often have a faster heart rate), or when exertion, strong emotions, the heart rate is also faster.
Your heart rate is 116 beats/min, which is faster than normal. However, if, after you rest, your heart rate returns to normal, that's fine. On the contrary, when resting for about 15 - 30 minutes but the heart rate is still fast, you should see a cardiologist to diagnose the cause and the doctor to prescribe appropriate treatment for you.
If you still have questions about tachycardia, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
