The heart rate of a healthy person at rest is in the numerical range from 60 to 100. If you judge by the indicated limits, the pulse 90 beats per minute is normal, at least at the upper level of the permissible index. However, such a heart rate is considered quite high and in some cases may indicate a risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, for example, tachycardia .
When the pulse 90 is it normal?
With a variety of physical and emotional loads, all organs and systems begin to work more intensively, including the heart. Therefore, high heart rate is quite understandable in the following situations:
- fast walking or running;
- any sports;
- sexual arousal;
- emotional stress;
- fear;
- excitement.
It is important to note that the acceleration of the heartbeat, even in these cases, is short-lived. Usually in a healthy body, its normal frequency is restored within 2-5 minutes after the end of the load.
Pathological causes of heart rate 90 beats per minute
In a quiet state, the heart rate is ideally 72 beats in 60 seconds. Of course, this value is averaged and may differ slightly for each person depending on his lifestyle, activity, age, weight and other individual characteristics. But the excess of the considered index of 80 beats per minute is considered a pathology.
If the pulse 90 is constant even at rest, the causes of this disorder can be such diseases and disorders:
- unsatisfactory thyroid gland function;
- too low blood pressure;
- disorders of adrenal function;
- hormonal imbalance;
- excessive nervous excitability;
- overweight;
- neurocirculatory dystonia of the autonomic nervous system;
- diabetes mellitus and other endocrine diseases;
- paroxysmal tachycardia;
- intoxication of the body;
- aortic valve failure;
- feverish condition;
- various myocardial lesions;
- oncological pathologies;
- anemia;
- taking drugs, alcohol and some medications;
- cachexia;
- infectious diseases;
- collapse;
- shock, including cases of severe allergic reaction.
Apparently, the factors provoking the described problem are too many for independent attempts to find out the cause of the rapid heart rate. Therefore, for a correct diagnosis, you need to contact a cardiologist.
What if the pulse is 90?
To reduce the rate of heartbeat can be using simple tricks that are easy to perform at home:
- Open the window, providing access to clean air.
- Remove or unfasten the restraining garments.
- Lie on the bed or sit in a soft chair, relax.
- Massage the eyeballs with a little pressure on them.
- Do respiratory gymnastics: take a deep breath, hold your breath for a few seconds, exhale.
- Drink a natural sedative, for example, an extract of valerian or motherwort .
It is also useful to have a leisurely 1,5-2 hour evening walk before going to bed, take warm baths with herbal decoctions (do this for 15-25 minutes not more than 3 times in 7 days).
Normalize the heart rate also helps the following activities:
- regular exercise;
- replenishment of the diet with citrus fruits, bananas, grape juice and skim milk;
- stabilization of emotional state;
- control of blood pressure.
In the future, it is necessary to visit a cardiologist and find out the exact cause of the pathology examined to prevent the development of serious cardiovascular diseases.
