Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: “How does tachycardia 106 beats / 1 minute affect health and can it be treated? ” as follows:
Normal heart rate from 60 to 90 beats/min; When the heart rate is > 90 beats/min, it is called tachycardia. Normal heart rate increases when walking, running, exercising, emotional, nervous, ... and decreases when resting. Frequent tachycardia even at rest may be due to a disorder of the autonomic nervous system that controls the heart or may be due to a physical disease of the heart.
If you still have questions about heart palpitations, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to check for cardiovascular disease. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health. Best regards!
