I have a real high puls rate and it makes me sick what can I do to lower it??
Answers: You want to make sure your blood pressure is ok and your heart conduction is ok and that there isn't any other pathology. I dont know your age or medical history and this can be a serious condition so go see a doctor. You can try the valsalva manuever to slow your heart rate down, were you bear down like you are having a bowel movement, but still go get checked out.
Numerous substances can increase your pulse rate, including but not limited to: smoking, nicotine, caffine and certain over the counter meds (especially 'diet' pills)
Normally, your physical condition regulates the pulse.
If you exercise on a daily basis, then your pulse rate should
be slower. By exercise, I mean cardio of at least 30 minutes 3-5x a week. Be sure to start out slowly, perhaps with walking if you are not already in good physical condition.
If conditioning is not a factor, or does not help, please do consider seeing a doctor and getting a check up. It could save your life.
No nicotine, caffeine, diet pills, or any other kind of upper . Cut out the sodas, candies, chips, and msg.
If that's not the source, it's time to see your physician.
You seem to have tachycardia. Tachycardia means a fast heart rate. The normal adult heart rate, or pulse, ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. A heart rate that continues to beat above 100 beats per minute is called tachycardia.
Tachycardia can occur naturally, for example, when you are exercising. It can also be caused by serious, life-threatening heart problems.
The main symptom is the sensation of a fast heartbeat. Other symptoms of tachycardia that may require medical treatment are:
* Lightheadedness or fainting
* Nausea
* Cold sweat
* Shortness of breath
* Chest pain
Your heart rate normally increases in several situations, such as when you:
* Exercise
* Have a fever
* Are anxious or excited
Hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone in your body) can cause a fast heartbeat.
Problems with the heart that can also cause tachycardia are:
* Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (PAT) and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT): These forms of tachycardia are disturbances in the natural electrical impulse that causes your heart to pump. The problem occurs above the ventricles (the lower chambers of your heart). If you have PAT or SVT, it does not necessarily mean that you have a serious heart problem.
* Atrial fibrillation: This is an abnormal rhythm pattern where the right and left atria (upper heart chambers) are contracting irregularly and making the heart beat faster.
* Ventricular tachycardia: This is a less common, but more dangerous kind of tachycardia. The heart beats in a regular rhythm but very fast. This abnormality is caused by heart disease. In a few cases it can be due to medication you are taking, such as digitalis or quinidine. The problem starts in your ventricles (lower heart chambers). The most serious aspect of ventricular tachycardia is that it can become ventricular fibrillation.
* Ventricular fibrillation: This is the most serious type of tachycardia. Your heart beats in an irregular rhythm and very fast. Your ventricles contract (squeeze) chaotically, which prevents the heart from pumping. When this happens, blood circulation stops. Sometimes the episodes are brief and suddenly go away. Most often, however, ventricular fibrillation requires immediate medical treatment to prevent brain damage or death.
* Mitral valve prolapse: This mild deformity of one of the valves in your heart can cause a fast heart rate.
Blood tests may be done to check for underlying metabolic diseases, such as thyroid disease. A chest x-ray and electrocardiogram (ECG) will be done. An ECG measures the electrical activity of your heart and displays the measurements on a screen or paper. Usually a rhythm strip is done; this is a continuous ECG for 1 to 2 minutes to look for heart rhythm abnormalities.
The best prevention is to have a heart-healthy lifestyle:
* Maintain a healthy weight.
* Eat a healthy diet.
* Get regular exercise, as recommended by your health care provider.
* Don't smoke.
* Seldom use other stimulants, for example, caffeine.
* Have regular medical check-ups after age 40.
If it's making you sick it sounds like a big problem. See a doctor!
If everything checks out ok, there are ways to get a lower heart rate.
1. Get lots of cardiovascular exercise to strengthen your heart and lungs. Swimming, running, biking are good for this. Over months, your cardiovascular capacity will increase and your resting heart rate will become lower.
2. Learn biofeedback. You can learn how to change your own heart rate just by paying attention to your body. Faster is easy- slower takes a bit more concentration.
High pulse rate could be something as simple as dehydration. High pulse rate and nausea can be caused by dehydration. First make sure you are drinking an adequate amount of water, at least two liters a day. Also, if you are on any dietary supplements, that may be causing problems for you. Some dietary supplements dehydrate the body. More often than not high pulse rate is due to dehydration, or some kind of stimulant. If you try to address the dehydation issue and are not taking supplements then you should be evaluated by a physician to make sure that you do not have any cardiac problems.
