Hello doctor. My heart rate is only 51-55/min every day. Yesterday, suddenly my heart rate increased sharply to 146/min. About 2 months ago, my heart rate increased suddenly like that. Ask your doctor to explain why the abnormally high heart rate is okay and how to treat it?
Thank you doctor for advising me.

Hello. Normal heart rate is from 60 to 90 times / minute, can vary depending on the state: when resting, it is usually slow, when exercising or in fear, it is fast.
Your resting heart rate is 51-55 beats/min which is a bit slow, sometimes up to 146 beats/min is too fast. There is a disease called tachycardia syndrome - sometimes slow due to sinus node failure. To determine if you have this disease, you need to see a cardiologist: record a resting electrocardiogram, record an electrocardiogram for 24 hours, if necessary, conduct an electrophysiological examination of the heart chambers.
You can perform a health check at a hospital under Vinmec Health System. Thank you for trusting and sharing the question "What's wrong with abnormally high heart rate?" to Vinmec. Wishing you good health always.
