High pulse - what to do?

Normal heart rate in a person at rest is within 90 beats per minute (usually 60-80 strokes), and this corresponds to the heart rate. If you measure the pulse after exercise, then it can be noticeably more often, which is the physiological norm. Also, increasing the pulse rate is considered normal in the case when a person reacts to a stressful situation (fright, anger, etc.).

What to do when the pulse is above 90?

Increasing the pulse rate to 100 beats per minute at normal pressure should not be a cause for concern for health. Nevertheless, with increasing heart rate, it is better to take the following:

1. Drink a glass of cold water.
2. Open the window.
3. If possible, lie down, if this is not possible, then sit down, loosening the belt, tie, belt.
4. Try to calm down and allow yourself a little rest.

What if the heart rate is above 100?

If the heart rate goes beyond the 100 mark, then action must be taken. What experts advise to do at home, if there is a high pulse?

With an increase in the indicator of the frequency of beats per minute it is necessary:

1. To drink a sedative (tincture of valerian, motherwort, Validol).
2. Take Cordarone (or put Analapril 20 mg under the tongue).
3. Call an ambulance.

Especially it is worthwhile to be alerted if other symptoms are observed that may pose a threat to health or life, such as:

• high pressure;
• heart pain;
• hyperthermia;
• obscuration and loss of consciousness ;
• pain in the abdomen, etc.

While waiting for the arrival of "C", the patient should be in bed.

What to do with a very high pulse?

If there is no possibility to call an ambulance, and the pulse rates are very high, then the experts recommend the patient:

1. Take a deep breath and strain as much as you exhale.
2. Cough, not stopping to prevent atrial fibrillation.
3. Press on the fovea over the wrist of the left hand for a minute.
4. Massage the side surfaces of the neck at the place where the carotid arteries pass.
5. Lightly press eyelids covered with eyelids.

What if the high pulse is constantly observed?

With a constantly increased pulse, you should always consult a doctor. He will determine what is the cause of such a state. It can be:

• bad habits (alcohol, smoking);
• taking certain medications;
• frequent overeating;
• significant physical or mental stress.

You can normalize the condition by eliminating the factors that cause the rapid heartbeat. In addition, experts are strongly advised to limit the amount of table salt consumed daily. And it is not accidental: in the course of medical research it was established that the more a person eats salt, the higher the level of systolic pressure, and, hence, the heartbeat more often. With frequent emotional stress, phyto-tea with mint, jasmine, melissa, lime-colored, passionflower, valerian or motherwort is recommended.

A good relaxing and sedative effect is provided by warm coniferous baths or baths with the addition of a few drops of essential oils. Recently, more and more popularity has been acquired by aerolamps. Spread in the room aroma helps reduce anxiety, irritability and other negative feelings, which are often the cause of increased heart rate. Soothing the effect is provided by natural aromatic oils:

• pink;
• patchouli;
• jasmine;
• Muscat;
• sandalwood;
• chamomile;
• lemon balm;
• lavender.
