Tachycardia (+ 7 Ways to Manage Symptoms)
By Katherine Brind'Amour, PhD, MS
February 5, 2018
Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate.
In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults.
Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).
When the heart beats excessively or rapidly, the heart pumps less efficiently and provides less blood flow to the rest of the body, including the heart itself. The increased heart rate also leads to increased work and oxygen demand by the heart, which can lead to rate related ischemia. One may feel weak, tired, nauseous because of this DECREASED oxygen.
Normally, adults at rest have a heartbeat between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
Tachycardia is usually defined for adults as having a heartbeat above 100 beats per minute at rest.
However, in children, tachycardia is a resting heartbeat of more than 160 beats per minute for an infant and 90 for a teenager.
Tachycardia in children is rare and may be due to problems with the heart that developed before they were born.
It can also be caused by illness or other health conditions. The most common type in children is supraventricular tachycardia (SVT); most kids with this problem do not need treatment, but they should be evaluated by a doctor.
Sinus tachycardia
The body has several feedback mechanisms to maintain adequate blood flow and blood pressure.
If blood pressure decreases, the heart beats faster in an attempt to raise it.
This is called reflex tachycardia.
This can happen in response to a decrease in blood volume (through dehydration or bleeding), or an unexpected change in blood flow. The most common cause of the latter is orthostatic hypotension (also called postural hypotension). Fever, hyperventilation, diarrhea and severe infections can also cause tachycardia, primarily due to increase in metabolic demands.
An increase in sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes the heart rate to increase, both by the direct action of sympathetic nerve fibers on the heart and by causing the endocrine system to release hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline), which have a similar effect. Increased sympathetic stimulation is usually due to physical or psychological stress. This is the basis for the so-called fight-or-flight response, but such stimulation can also be induced by stimulants such as ephedrine, amphetamines or cocaine.
Certain endocrine disorders such as pheochromocytoma can also cause epinephrine release and can result in tachycardia independent of nervous system stimulation.
Hyperthyroidism can also cause tachycardia.
The upper limit of normal rate for sinus tachycardia is thought to be 220 bpm minus age.
Your heart is made up of four chambers — two upper chambers (atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). The rhythm of your heart is normally controlled by a natural pacemaker called the sinus node, which is located in the right atrium. The sinus node produces electrical impulses that normally start each heartbeat.
From the sinus node, electrical impulses travel across the atria, causing the atrial muscles to contract and pump blood into the ventricles.
The electrical impulses then arrive at a cluster of cells called the atrioventricular (AV) node — usually the only pathway for signals to travel from the atria to the ventricles.
The AV node slows down the electrical signal before sending it to the ventricles.
This slight delay allows the ventricles to fill with blood. When electrical impulses reach the muscles of the ventricles, they contract, causing them to pump blood either to the lungs or to the rest of the body.
When anything disrupts this complex system, it can cause the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia) or with an irregular rhythm.
Causes: Tachycardia.

The Ventricular Type is tied to more serious heart disorders, like lack of oxygen, and could also be associated with other conditions, such as sarcoidosis. It causes the skin and other body tissues to swell. It is also associated with abnormal electrical pathways which are present at birth (long QT), structural problems of the heart such as a cardiomyopathy, medications, or electrolyte imbalance.
TEMPERATURE sudden changes can also trigger tachycardia.
Perceived as Shocks by the Reptilian Structure part of the brain, ENERGY resources and attention become focused on returning the body back to a more moderate temperature, and, maintaining consistency. These unconscious activities can add considerably to the bank of current energy demands. Conscious awareness of these changes with an understanding of their significance can enable us to consciously decide to temporarily ignore these changes and consciously induce Relaxation and Acceptance in place of the normal reactive Tension, Defence, and, Attack (action) to minimize the symptom.

** ENERGY demanding Foods can stimulate tachycardia.
IF you are either OLDER or/and have experienced many near traumatic experiences, and/or have lived a Very ACTIVE life, and/or have injuries to your heart, and/or have chronic demands on your heart ... you may become more susceptible to tachycardia incidents than someone with LESS of these. In other words, if there is a Threshold of PRESENT Stress beyond which tachycardia is activated, and IF, due to the above historical stress factors that threshold has been REDUCED, you will find yourself experiencing a tachycardia episode when exposed to a lower current accumulation of Stress than in the Past.
Energy demanding foods, in the above conditions, can push you over the Tachycardia Threshold in a near immediate fashion to result in feelings of weakness and tiredness as well as other Attending Symptoms. It is the Near-Present accumulation of Energy Demands which pushes the individual over the activation threshold. QUANTITY and TYPE of food thus contribute to this dynamic. NO, it is not being triggered by any allergy or hypersensitivity to any one or several foods. Rather, it is the summative effect of several foods and their quantities as in having a rushed mini-meal of meat, starchy vegetable, and an unsugared fruit juice. Personally, such a meal activated tachycardia immediately, with attending symptoms of physical weakness and tiredness lasting for 3 hours while I carried out low energy demanding activities.
REFINED and PROCESSED foods demand more energy to BEGIN digestion and assimilation because they lack the enzymes and other nutrients of Fresh, Uncooked, and non-Chemically altered foods ... which enable easier digestion.
IF your tachycardia incidents are being triggered by FOOD energy demands, there is a strong suggestion that your HEART is LOW in STAMINA. That means that the usual medical tests for functionality will likely be interpreted as NORMAL. It also means that if you Push the dynamics to force your tachycardia to surface, you will be playing with a high stakes-to-lose situation in which a heart attack, stroke, or blood clot are the likely outcome. If that happens, you will either be dead, planning for a long-term indefinite recovery, heart surgery (if you can afford it, perhaps in another country), or Very Long Disability. I suggest that you take the warning and live as normal a life as possible, safely, with activities much quieter and calmly and self-directed than you have previously. You have a CHOICE.
AVOID Non-prescription diet or weight-loss drugs may contain ingredients, such as caffeine and ephedrine, that can cause tachycardia (as well as other health problems). In some cases, even herbal weight loss medications have unregulated or hidden ingredients, such as the chemical appetite suppressant sibutramine, that can cause tachycardia.
AVOID supplements and herbs known to cause irregular heartbeats, such as cola nut, ephedra, guarana, and Creatine.

and many drug monographs.
Some people with tachycardia don't notice any symptoms.
The condition may be discovered by chance during a doctor's visit.
Other people will know when they are experiencing an episode.
Some persons will have both experiences which deceives them into less concern.
Tachycardia symptoms may vary by the type of tachycardia you have.
When the heart beats excessively or rapidly, the heart pumps less efficiently and provides less blood flow to the rest of the body, including the heart itself. The activity can produce symptoms of oxygen starvation. Drug monographs, in my experience, deceptively conceal tachycardia behind descriptions including "irregular or fast heartbeat".
Tachycardia, depending upon the individual and the activating sources, can present as either a "Silent" or "Dramatic" symptom, in the same individual. In a "Silent" expression, the individual will NOT be aware that they are experiencing this pathology, though, a simple medical electronic device will clearly and audibly confirm that they are. In the "Dramatic" mode, the individual will feel their heart strongly beating in their chest and/or in other body areas.
Attending Symptoms can include:
- blood clots
- breathing difficulties
- chest pain
- confusion
- dizziness/lightheadedness
- drowsiness
- dry mouth
- eyesight changes
- fainting,
- hearing changes including ringing in the ears
- heart attack
- Heart palpitations — a racing, uncomfortable or irregular heartbeat or a sensation of "flopping" in the chest
- mental focusing reduction
- nausea/vomiting
- numbness and tingling of feet and.or, hands, and/or legs/arms
- rapid heart rate
- sleeping difficulties
- stroke
- sudden weakness
- swallowing difficulties
- sweating without physical strain
- talking confusion
- tightness in the chest
- unusual tiredness
- weakness on one side of the body
It is not unusual for some cases with tachycardia to cause no symptoms at all.
In such cases, the condition (may be) discovered when the individual has a physical examination.
In some cases an undiagnosed heart weakness involving tachycardia may lead to a "silent/sudden" stroke or heart attack ... which may lead to death ... the cause of which may not be determined in an autopsy. The medical examiner (coroner) may then conclude that the death was "normal" as an indication of "old age."
As these cases of tachycardia remain HIDDEN, there is no relevant scientific evidence to indicate the frequency of tachycardia being associated with death and whether such has any relation to geographic location, age of the subject, gender, or, endemic conditions including overweight, alcohol and/or drug intake, PTSD, diabetes, high blood pressure, heavy metal presence, parasites.
Preventing: Tachycardia.

Sinus tachycardia
This happens when your heart is beating fast but otherwise normally.
It happens when your heart's natural pacemaker simply sets a faster pace for each heartbeat.
It may happen when you are ill, anxious, on certain medications, or after some other heart or health problems.
In this case, the underlying problem is usually treated rather than the fast heartbeat itself.
The only real symptom of this type of arrhythmia is feeling like your heart is beating fast at rest.

Supraventricular.
This happens when the electrical signals in the organ's upper chambers misfire and cause the heart rate to speed up.
It beats so fast that it can't fill with blood before it contracts. That reduces blood flow to the rest of your body.
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias.
In general, it is an irregular, narrow complex rhythm. However, it may show wide QRS complexes on the ECG if a bundle branch block is present. At high rates, the QRS complex may also become wide due to the Ashman phenomenon. It may be difficult to determine the rhythm's regularity when the rate exceeds 150 beats per minute. Depending on the patient's health and other variables such as medications taken for rate control, atrial fibrillation may cause heart rates that span from 50 to 250 beats per minute (or even higher if an accessory pathway is present). However, new onset atrial fibrillation tends to present with rates between 100 and 150 beats per minute.
Atrial fibrillation.
Sometimes, electrical activity can arise from the left atrium rather than the sinus node.
This causes the chambers to contract at an excessively high and irregular rate.
An atrial fibrillation episode may last from a few hours to several days.
Sometimes, the episode does not go away without treatment.
Most people with atrial fibrillation have some heart abnormality related to the condition.
Atrial flutter.
The atria beat rapidly, but regularly.
This is caused by a circuit problem within the right atrium.
The contractions of the atria are weak because of the rapid heartbeat.
An atrial flutter episode may last a few hours or some days.
Sometimes it may not go away until treated.
Atrial flutter is sometimes a complication of surgery, but it can also be caused by various forms of heart disease.
People with atrial flutter commonly also experience atrial fibrillation.
Atrial or supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
This starts because of an abnormal beat in the upper chambers of the heart.
Your heart has a natural pacemaker that sends electrical signals to tell your heart to beat.
The upper part of the heart starts to beat too fast with this type of tachycardia, which means your heart doesn't have enough time to fill with blood between each beat. This reduces the blood flow to the rest of the body.
SVT can cause fainting, dizziness, fluttering in the chest, chest pain or tightness, fatigue and other problems.
Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs)
This refers to any accelerated heart rhythm originating above the ventricular tissue.
The abnormal circuitry in the heart is usually present at birth and creates a loop of overlapping signals.
An SVT episode may last from a few seconds to several hours.
Ventricular type: Ventrical (lower chambers) misfire.

Ventricular tachycardia (VT)
This starts because of an abnormal beat in the lower heart chambers.
Just like in SVT, this type of tachycardia doesn't give the heart enough time to fill with blood before it beats each time, so blood doesn't get pushed out to the rest of the body properly.
VT can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling out of breath, fainting, nausea or even a heart attack.
Ventricular tachycardia
Abnormal electrical signals in the ventricles result in a rapid heart rate.
The speed of the heartbeat does not allow the ventricles to fill and contract properly, resulting in poor blood supply to the body. This
type of tachycardia is frequently a life-threatening condition and is treated as a medical emergency.
Ventricular fibrillation
The ventricles quiver in an ineffective way, resulting in poor blood supply to the body.
If normal heart rhythm is not restored rapidly, blood circulation will cease, causing death.
People with an underlying heart condition or those who have been struck by lightning causing serious trauma may experience
ventricular fibrillation.
Treatments: Medically Suggested.

Treatments for ventricular tachycardia may include medication to reset the heart's electrical signals or ablation, a procedure that destroys the abnormal heart tissue that is leading to the condition.
Your doctor might also use a defibrillator to disrupt rapid heart rhythms.
In cases where the condition is expected to return, treatment may include:
-
Radiofrequency catheter ablation:
The abnormal part of your heart that is causing the tachycardia will be destroyed.
Catheters (surgically) enter the heart via blood vessels. Electrodes at the ends of the catheter are heated to ablate, or damage the small sections of the heart responsible for the abnormal heartbeat.
-
Medication:
Anti-arrhythmia pills can be taken regularly to help avoid episodes of tachycardia.
Other medications to treat conditions that also affect your heart may be prescribed as well.
-
Cardioversion:
Paddles or patches are used to deliver an electric shock to the heart.
This affects the electrical impulses in the heart and (may) restores normal rhythm.
This is (usually) carried out in a hospital.
-
Pacemaker:
A small device is implanted under your skin.
When it notices your heart is off rhythm, it sends a little electrical pulse to help your heartbeat return to normal.
-
Implantable cardioverter (ICD):
A small device implanted in your chest to monitor your heartbeat.
If it detects an abnormal rhythm, it gives electrical shocks to your heart to normalize the heartbeat.
This is usually only done in people with ventricular tachycardia, who are at particular risk of sudden death due to the arrhythmia.
-
Surgery:
In some cases, surgery may be done to create a little maze of scar tissue on the heart.
This can help stop the abnormal electrical pulses from making the heart beat too fast because the scar tissue doesn't let the electricity pass.
Medications are also prescribed medically and include:
Available drugs (are intended to) restore normal heart rhythm, control the heart rate, or both.
Sometimes an individual will need to take more than one antiarrhythmic drug.
--- anti-arrhythmics ---
-
diltiazem (Cardizem), a channel blocker,
-
verapamil (Calan), a channel blocker,
-
propranolol (Inderal), a beta-blocker,
-
esmolol (Brevibloc), a beta-blocker,
-
varoxaban (Xeralto),
Like Warfarin, it makes it harder for the blood to clot and is given to individuals with a high or moderate risk of developing stroke or heart attack. Although Xeralto increases the risk of bleeding, it is prescribed for people whose risk of stroke or heart attack is greater than their risk of bleeding.
-
warfarin.
Warfarin makes it harder for the blood to clot and is given to individuals with a high or moderate risk of developing stroke or heart attack. Although Warfarin increases the risk of bleeding, it is prescribed for people whose risk of stroke or heart attack is greater than their risk of bleeding.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
In early 2019, I was medically prescribed Warfarin/Xeralto for a suspected large number of blood clots, dominating one lung. This assessment was determined by an assessment of an x-ray. NO interest in confirming the diagnosis by endoscope would be considered. I was warned that if I stopped the medication, for even a day, I risked a HIGH likelihood of death.
After 6 weeks of such medication during which I experienced FREQUENT episodes of tachycardia (both silent and obvious) in addition to short- to medium-term numbness in one or both wrists, hands, arms, legs, and feet ... I chose, with the DEPENDABLE feedback of Prayer/Spiritual Guidance ... to terminate ALL prescription drugs (I was also taking HIGH doses of Manerix and Flexeril) within a 24-hour period.
I am writing this 4 weeks following discontinuing the drugs.
I have NOT been required to go to a hospital. My tachycardia seems to have been reduced in frequency yet this is impossible to determine for many episodes have been "silent" and I have no scientific way (device) of determining any but the presence of obvious consciously aware episodes. The DAILY incidents of "NUMB" symptoms have been reduced, immediately on terminating the drugs, by over 95%. I am still ALIVE, researching, learning, and working towards Recovery.
UNLESS you have equal capabilities at receiving and utilizing Prayer/Spiritual Guidance (God is ALWAYS listening/present and wants the BEST for us ... which we can have IF we LISTEN, and CHOOSE), I do NOT recommend this approach for anyone else. What I do highly ENCOURAGE is that you obtain the drug monographs for any drug you are prescribed and become familiar with the stated SIDE EFFECTS with the caution that ALL side effects will not be mentioned ... especially those attending the use of Multiple drugs together.

1759-acupuncture-reverts-heart-arrhythmias-to-normal
Author: Adam White, L.Ac.
09 June 2017
A review of studies of natural therapies for the treatment of arrhythmias found that acupuncture was safe and effective at reducing recurrences of atrial fibrillation, and, in some cases, reducing chest pain and in several studies, reducing hypertension.
People with tachycardia brought on by fear of needles should avoid acupuncture.
Acupuncture has also been found effective for the prevention of abnormal heart rhythms.
Zhu et al. determined that acupuncture applied to acupoint Neiguan (PC6) prevents atrial fibrillation and exerts an anti-arrhythmia effect. In a groundbreaking laboratory experiment, the researchers proved that acupuncture prevents atrial fibrillation through restoration and remodeling of the right atrial appendage. Zhu et al. add that acupuncture at PC6 “could effectively prevent the onset of arrhythmia and restore the sinus rhythm in AF [atrial fibrillation] rats.”
Zhu et al. conclude that acupuncture reduces the severity of “focal interrupted cardiomyocytes, myolysis, interstitial edema and increased extracellular space.” Results were confirmed with electrocardiograms, histological examinations, and ultrastructure analyses. Zhu et al. concluded, “Considering that acupuncture was safe, effective, without any pro-arrhythmic effect compared with the classical pharmacological therapy, this traditional Chinese medicine had a potential to become a more mainstream complementary intervention in the treatment of atrial fibrillation.” ...
The Heart Rhythm Journal publication cites the work of Lomuscio et al. that was published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology. The study concludes, “Our data indicate that acupuncture treatment prevents arrhythmic recurrences after cardioversion in patients with persistent AF. This minimally invasive procedure was safe and well tolerated.” ...
Another group received intravenous injections of amiodarone.
The group receiving acupuncture had an 85% total effective rate.
The drug group had a 67.5% total effective rate.
Conversion times were significantly faster in the acupuncture group than the drug group.

Tachycardia & Caffeine
Nicole Langton
2011-08-18
... Out of so many causes for Tachycardia, it is caffeine, which is the breeding ground for abnormal heartbeat and lasts for longer time than usual. ...
Caffeine affects cardiovascular system and it has been observed that those who take small quantities of caffeine, there is a transient increase in blood flow.
Caffeine stimulates your nervous system and brain, particularly the cerebral cortex and the brain stem, speeding up certain physical reactions. It also stimulates your heart and dilates your blood vessels, which raises your blood pressure. Even 50 to 300 mg of caffeine, the amount in 1/2 to 3 cups of coffee, increases heart rate and blood pressure. Tachycardia occurs when your heart rate rises above 100 beats per minute. Sensitivity to caffeine varies, so you may experience a heart rate increase from a smaller amount of caffeine than someone else. ...
Coffee drinking poses a risk to the cardiac rhythm; however, this becomes a problem in case of excessive usage of caffeine, which needs to be avoided at all costs. It is basically the Xanthine, present in the caffeine which severely affects the blood flow and when caffeine is consumed in excessive amounts then it leads to Tachycardia. When there is a disturbance in the cardiac rhythm then it has a toxic effect on the blood flow, leading to many ailments; but again, this happens only when caffeine is taken in excessively large quantities.
... Because of phytochemicals present in caffeine, inflammation in the body can be reduced which is actually a perk of this compound; but if you already are suffering from FAST HEARTBEAT and anxiety, then drinking coffee can be harmful, as it increases the palpitations (tachycardia) causing more anxiety. ...
Your blood pressure gets spiked when you take coffee, but this is for a short duration only.
Studies and researches have indicated that people taking more than 4 cups of coffee are bound to face problems related with blood pressure, ....

Appreciation for everything and everyone external to us enables us to RESPOND to others rather than REACTING.
Responding is like the million colors of emotion and evaluation which are available to us. Reaction minimizes our reality to a black-and-white projection and judgement which is only relevant in instances of urgency, defence, and, shock. Responding requires us to broaden our awareness and experiences and integrate those into possibilities available from a spectrum of interactions. In a state of Appreciation we preset our emotions for CALM, acceptance, joy, patience, humility, reverence, and love. All of these tend to balance our heart rhythms and protect us from the strains which encourage the arrival of tachycardia.
Reactive attitudes and behaviors almost always stimulate us into INTENSITY as a mode of action.
We react as if aggression, anger, fear, rejection, attack, hate, panic, and the confidence and pride of a two-year-old are valid directions.
All of these tend to stimulate our heart and other action supporting organs into drive and overdrive. When our heart is in overdrive for too long, tachycardia results. The heart is beating so fast that the relax part of the rhythmic push-and-retract cycle loses its neurological capability to alternate the signals and we get STUCK on one side of the equation. It is as if our heart muscle is only "hearing" push-push-push, or, retract-retract-retract ... and the full cycle required for blood flow is not being completed. This pausing of the blood flow will demand much energy while not delivering new supplies of oxygen. The result can be a sudden LOSS of energy ... which can further stimulate greater intensity through Fear, Panic, and Drama. Eventually, we are physically forced to SLOW, or we endanger ourselves with some more fatal form of cardiac action.
When tachycardia is happening, it can be helpful for us to ask ourselves, "What are we afraid of?"
Other questions which can encourage us towards a more relaxed and reflective state in which we can evaluate and Choose a constructive and Relevant response include:
- "Why are we feeling Hate?"
- "Is Anger the best form of interaction now?"
- "Why are we swearing about ...?"
- "Is the other person/thing really an adversary?"
- "Am I respecting my physical limitations?"
Appreciation for what is INTERNAL to us can be difficult also.
Many human cultures imprint, educate, and reward us for denying, ignoring, and frustrating our inner dynamics.
This can include everything from digestion, to athletics, to sleep, to pains and stiffness, to skin disorders and both allergic and hypersensitivity reactions. We are taught and rewarded for putting external demands, obligations, and co-dependencies ahead of internal balanced health. Many cultures take the REACTIVE approach to treating health problems by spontaneous reliance on prescription drugs, denial (Maybe it will go away),
obligation (I'll look after it after my work finishes), or, excuse (My food, that person, the meeting, the noise ... must have caused it). These distractions may numb us to the problem until time, delay, procrastination ... enable a sense of pause and unconscious Calm to remedy or reduce its expression.
True Appreciation for the INTERNAL takes reflection, time, study, questioning, and, integration.
All of these facets of RESPONDING can take a long time until we become more adept at accessing and utilizing them, and, build our library of self-knowledge from which we can recall solutions. This dynamic is often made more difficult when we are in social situations or are in the midst of an activity. Other persons will, from their imprinting, lack of self-esteem, and lack of Respect ... will frequently ridicule, demean, and become impatient with us for choosing this self-help direction. They find it threatening that we are not subjecting ourselves to the Authoritarian ethic (assuming that some "Expert" will have the answer, other than us) and Dependency reality (an intense obligation to perform for our employer or risk being fired or penalized) which they accept without question. Self-Appreciation can traverse too far into the self-obsessed mode and begin to mirror the extremes of Reactive modes. That can also bring on the tachycardia episodes that accompany the destructive and restrictive emotions which support them. A Time-Out is not an Abdication.

Julia Lawless, 2014.
Almost immediately on my evaluating published research results and general advertising supported health article summaries on this topic, I encountered the too often disheartening indicators of poor research design, contradictory projections, lack of RELEVANT cautions in application of the "results", and, a "throw everything in the basket that should work: rationale.
FIRST, while a drug, supplement or essential oil may be effective for a RELATED condition, it does not merit the declaration that it SHOULD BE effective for ALL similar conditions. At minimum, this is misrepresentation. More specifically, it is scientific FRAUD. And finally, following such recommendations could result in a further decline in health.
SECONDLY, many of the articles sorted out for "Tachycardia" and "Aromatherapy" in Internet SEARCH engines mostly turned up the use of Essential Oils for the treatment of "High Blood Pressure." While high blood pressure can aggravate the experience of and elevate the frequency of tachycardia, it is NOT a singular contributor to tachycardia, in my experience. It is possible that using an Esxsential Oil in aromatherapy that is known to be effective for high blood pressure may provide NO benefit for tachycardia, and could, by its failure, INCREASE the negative emotions which contribute to tachycardia.
THIRDLY, a general listing of ALL Essential Oils that have been found to increase a sense of CALM, as a remedy for tachycardia may also be a poor choice. One's interpretation of the meaning of the word "calm" can become important here. I know of situations in which persons have described their state as one of calm when they were mentally fogged; others when they were under the influence of recreational drugs; others when they were relaxed under the influence of "downers", beverage depressants, sedatives, or, neurological drugs. An Essential Oil that produces these forms of consciousness is unlikely to benefit tachycardia.
|
Aromatherapy, as it is frequently practiced, is the atomization into a spray of an Essential Oil.
The resulting aroma, sometimes refered to as an incense, which may be produced by the selection of an individual oil, or, the combination of a mixed selection of oils, has been found to provide attitude, emotional, and behavioral changes to a wide variety of persons. Sometimes, a singular or combination selection of oils has been applied to the skin for a health benefit. Essential Oils are rapidly absorbed through the skin, yet, the aroma produced is modified by their interaction with body oils, much like that of perfumes, and such may provide differing effects apart from those of the atomized air scent.
Regardless of the lack of sufficient scientific evidence to elucidate the effects of aromas’ and their corresponding mechanisms, some extracted aromas are widely adopted into modern society and have reportedly generated specific effects. While many essential oils and their aromas have been demonstrated to raise (stimulate) or lower (depress) either or both of heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP), little study and evidence exists (2019-07) regarding influence on tachycardia, a short-term, sudden, cardiac event.
-
Frankincense Essential Oil reduces stress levels but also regulates the heart and promotes mental clarity.
This could reduce tachycardia symptoms, especially when applied a drop or two to the skin on the back of the LEFT wrist.
Many consider its influence to be spiritually grounding, calming and relaxing without being sedating.
ALL of these contributions help to moderate, reduce, or dispell tachycardia symptoms.
-
A study of patients who underwent heart surgery found that inhaling Lavender essential oil reduced heart rate and blood pressure, which are commonly elevated after surgery due to stress and pain. In other experiences of and reactions to stress, Lavender could REDUCE tachycardia symptoms.
Lavender Essential Oil is reported as beneficial in reducing the symptoms of and in facilitating the healing of what seems to be just about everything: Acne, Allergies, Anxiety, Asthma, Athlete's Foot, Bruises, Burns, Chicken Pox, Colic, Cuts, Cystitis, Depression, Dermatitis, Dysmenorrhea, Earache, Flatulence, Headache, Hypertension, Insect Bites, Insect Repellent, Itching, Labor Pains, Migraine, Oily Skin, Rheumatism, Scabies, Scars, Sores, Sprains, Strains, Stress, Stretch Marks, Vertigo, Whooping Cough. Many of these can increase our anxieties, frustrations, anger, sense of urgency, grief/saddness, and, paranoia ... which can contribute to tachycardia episodes.
-
Ylang-Ylang (YYA), Cananga odorata, is a tree valued for its perfume.
The essential oil derived from the flowers is used in aromatherapy.
The fragrance of Ylang-Ylang is rich and deep with notes of rubber and custard.
The essential oil of its flower is obtained through steam distillation of the flowers and separated into different grades according to when the distillates are obtained. Overall, the YYA inhibited the sympathetic nervous system whereas it activated the parasympathetic nervous system. Finally, it results in decreased BP and HR. This can REDUCE tachycardia symptoms.
-
Rose Essential Oil
Rose Oil most often comes from the damask rose (Rosa damascena) plant, but it can also come from the cabbage rose (Rosa centifolia) plant.
The oil is steam distilled from the flower petals. The oil distilled from damask roses is sometimes sold as Bulgarian rose oil or Bulgarian rose otto. Bulgaria and Turkey are the top producers of rose oil from the Rosa damascena plant. Pure rose essential oil is very pricey because it takes around 10,000 pounds of rose petals to distill just one pound of essential oil!
You’ll often see “rose absolute” sold in health food stores.
This is a mix of rose absolute (solvent extracted) and a carrier oil like jojoba oil.
This is a much more affordable option. However, it is not as potent and therapeutic.
It’s also a concentrated form of the rose fragrance which is obtained through the use of chemical solvents rather than steam distillation or the more desirable method of CO2 extraction. ... the best, most pure option ... a little goes a long way so a small bottle can last an extremely long time.
Rose oil has been found to improve acne, balance hormones, relieve anxiety, improve depression, reduce rosacea and naturally increase libido. Traditionally, rose oil has been used for grief, nervous tension, coughs, wound healing and general skin health, allergies, headaches and as a general anti-inflammatory. In summary, many of the instigating factors contributing to tachycardia have found relief from the use of Rose essential oil.

In a short video that I have included (on the referenced webpage) is a simple Qigong-like exercise to help a heart with any excess condition. Excess conditions are those of too much Yang in the heart, (or too little Yin elsewhere). High blood pressure, angina, tachycardia, and other physical heart issues can be the result. This exercise can also be helpful for such issues as anxiety, insomnia, over-excitement, night sweats, mental and emotional problems and dizziness.
In a 2 minute video clip, Stephen Sinatra, a cardiologist, talks about how the arms are extensions of the heart.
(go to the webpage LINK above for the video link)
Early in embryogenesis the arms came from the heart area.
Thus,
“If you want to work with someone’s heart, work with the energy of the arms.”
He makes the point that conductors, who are raising their arms in motion, live healthily into their 90’s.
The key to (benefiting from) the video is the little exercise Stephen Sinatra shows.
He recommends swinging your arms back and forth a couple hundred times a day to keep the thoracic duct open.
The thoracic duct is the major pathway in the center of the chest where lymph flows from the abdomen and legs back to the heart
The Heart/Arm Connection
I’ve often noticed this heart and arm connection with my healing clients and Qigong students.
Symptoms in the chest can often be relieved by opening the shoulders and guiding attention, sensation and Qi down the arms, and off the fingers.
In Medical Qigong training we are taught to take a patient’s excess heart Qi out of the heart, down 3 of the meridians of the arm (Small Intestine, Pericardium and Heart). Dredging down the entire arm, not just the meridians, works quite well also.
The arms and hands can be thought of the external manifestations of the heart.
It is with the arms that we create, or hug, or hold tight, or push away, or fight for our space. ...
The swinging exercise has other benefits to the heart.
It opens the thoracic outlet, relaxes the shoulders, sends blood to to the hands to relieve excess, and improves lymph flow from the arms via the axillary nodes and clavicular pathways.
This exercise -- like just about everything else in life -- works even better with lower abdominal breathing.
Note: Just about any Kidney strengthening exercises can help with excess heart issues.

last edited on 1 August 2019
Just 3 sessions of CBT plus exercise resulted in reducing chest pain and sinus tachycardia in a randomized, controlled study.
It also reduced depression and fear of bodily sensations (for example, thinking catastrophically about palpitations).
Yes, for the appropriate person in terms of personality, motivation, and awareness of a stimulating factor producing one's tachycardia, CBT can be an effective in changing or eliminating a pattern which results in the tachycardia. Critical is the necessity for the tachycardia to be associated with a pattern of attitude or behavior which you are aware of. You cannot consciously make an effort to change a pattern you are not aware of, or, a pattern which does not relate to your repeated expression of tachycardia.
CBT is a "problem-focused" and "action-oriented" form of therapy, meaning it is used to treat specific problems.
The repeated experience of tachycardia is a specific problem in that it is being experienced as automatic and is happening beyond our conscious control and choice. The therapist's role is to assist the client in finding and practicing effective strategies to address the identified goals and decrease symptoms of this cardiac disorder. Another way of describing it is CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
In more personalized detail, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a method of adaptation and spoken communication in which the afflicted person and a therapist or assistant make an effort to define what the attitude or behavior is which triggers the tachcardia reaction. Then the pattern is divided into parts or stages, if possible. Once this discernment and remodeling has been detailed or planned, the patient can then pace themselves through the stages or steps and differentiate between the REALITY of the parts of the experience, and, the projected, expected, or feared outcome that has amplified a more normal response into an intense reaction.
As has been noted, any CBT session, when participated in for a RELEVANT factor, is a success by virtue of the effort made, the awareness gained, and the gradual change of action from unconscious reaction to conscious chosen response. A failed CBT session is one which one has not attended.

6 Unexpected Health Benefits of Gardening.
WRITTEN BY Robin Jacobs
September 19, 2014
Gardening: Overview.
G Index
Personality has much to influence the degree to which one can benefit from gardening.
Gardening can ADD anxiety, frustration, disappointment, anger, shame, loss, physical challenge, and selfishness to one's lifestyle just as easily as it can repace those with more health positive variables. That is, gardening can help maintain and strengthen one's health in general and one's cardiac health in particular.
If you have had the choices and made the more beneficial choices to begin with, you will likely not be experiencing the form of tachycardia that would benefit from gardening. How the garden is designed, the landscaping that was included, the selection of plants, the ways in which you manage it, the variety of plants and their requirements, and the degree to which their harvesting times differ are all important factors in the potentials of reducing anxiety and stress, increasing daily experiences of enjoyment, expressing caring, love, and appreciation towards other lifeforms, and, gently exercising ones full range of physical capabilities.
Gardening can provide opportunities for regular exercise, visual and auditory appreciation, sharing with others, increased oxygen uptake, improved nutrition, an expression of identity and motivation, mental and cardiac conditioning. Yet, any and all of those potential positives will depend upon one's personality, maturity, physical capabilities, and access. In the worst of cases, it could equally encourage the development of and experience of tachycardia.

Closing one's eyes can prepare one for reducing one's conscious awareness and the fears and anxieties which may be encouraged by it. This may require a repetitious practice similar to biofeedback during which one closes the eyes, focuses on physically relaxing, and, visualizes an environment or experience in which Great Calm has been felt. If, with repetition, one cues this dynamic to some personally unique movement or phrase, a procedure which may take minutes to initially step through can be automated with practice and a cue to activate in seconds.
If the person experiences Anxiety and/or Fear when they close their eyes, then this routine will demand considerable practice and patience to become a benefit, or, it may be best to focus on other options.

Choose: Hawthorn extract/tincture.
IJC Index
Hawthorn berry is a traditional treatment for heart rhythm problems such as tachycardia.
In one lab study, hawthorn leaf extract reduced the arrhythmia in human heart stem cells.
According to Dr. Patrick Fratellone of the American Herbalists Guild, dosages of hawthorn used for treating arrhythmias can range from 120 to 240 milligrams twice per day (as a standardized pill), or one or two berries steeped in 8 ounces of water as a tea each day, for three to 24 weeks.
Choose: Magnesium Supplementation.
IJC Index
Magnesium has potent anti-arrhythmia effects and is used both to prevent tachycardia in heart surgery patients and to improve the effectiveness of anti-arrhythmic drugs.
When taken as a supplement it is believed to be particularly useful for ventricular tachycardia that doesn't respond to other therapies.
Together with potassium, supplements may be useful for people with deficiencies in preventing serious complications from tachycardia, such as fatal heart attacks.
Dosage can be personally important.
Too much Magnesium for an individual depending upon recent dietary intake, supplements taken, and negative stress load, can INDUCE tachycardia which remains until the personal threshold of SAFE magnesium presence is passed.
Choose: Neem health enhancement.
IJC Index
The medicinal uses are attributed to several compounds including azadirachtin and meliantriol.
Neem products have been used against heat rash, boils, wounds, chicken pox, fungal infections, parasites, lice, Dental infections and respiratory infections. Most of these pathogens are capable of triggering tachycardia and will certainly contribute to the negative stress collection which could push one into a tachycardia incident. Neem reduces the presence of these pathogens and their negative influence relative to tachycardia.
With recent knowledge and methods for quantifying disease-prevention potential, the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC value) of neem has been determined to be five times (5×) greater than that of blueberries, and twenty times (20×) greater than that of broccoli and grapefruit.
In joint studies conducted between the Howard University College of Medicine and the University of Nigeria, neem leaf was shown effective in the treatment of malaria, cancer, and HIV. Compounds found in neem leaf were effective in preventing the adhesion of parasites, viruses, and cancer cells to healthy tissue. Studies have also shown neem leaf to bolster populations of CD4+ T cells in AIDS patients.
GMO crops, including GMO neem, by their very definition and laboratory alteration, do NOT carry and display the same qualities and biological ingredients as the original plant seeds. In addition, genes which have been added to the seed often originate in different lifeforms and can effect different influence on one's health. They are designed to kill insects, deter fungal invasion, and contain or alter plant viruses. There has been a great amount of research concluded on the original neem varieties. Little is available to the public on GMO varieties. If you want the benefits frequently attributed to Neem, ensure that you buy a GMO-free band.
Choose: Recreational drugs minimized.
IJC Index
These substances range from neuro-mood altering substances to narcotics.
These substances tend to temporarily diminish, or, stimulate nerve impulses and responses into false-to-reality levels.
That is, they cause us and our hearts and other organs to function AS IF we were either in an environment of GREATER threat and danger than is real, or, in a surrounding which poses LESSER demands for responsibility and participation than the reality offers.
While these contradictory substances can be helpful in the short-term in coping with unusual and intense experiences of physical Pain, compulsive (Energy Block) emotional patterns of anxiety, depression, abandonment, and co-dependency ... their inability to resolve or correct the imbalances encourages the individual to increase their dosage and adopt addiction. Like all addictions, the fantasy of the apparent reality promises to us intellectually that if it works in the short-term, it should work in the longer-term. When our bodies become increasingly desensitized to the drug, the often weakened will of the person chooses to increase the Quantity of the dysfunctioning substance rather than discontinue it. Larger swings of organ function and larger toxicity levels of it being harboured in our bodies both encourage tachycardia responses. Like the subject, the brain and heart of the person becomes confused as to which experiences are reality based and which are fantasy sourced.
To AVOID the above pattern of increasing intensity and anarchy about one's heart function, one is best to decline the use of these substances, especially if the person has a low sense of awareness and acknowledgement of the above pattern of escalation and fantasy, and/or, a low sense of self-directedness and self-esteem that would allow them to STOP the use of substances whose influence is declining as regards quantity.
Peer pressure for Acceptance and Inclusion have been increasing in populations served by Internet and mobile digital communications. There is no demonstration of political leadership to acknowledge this trend. After 30 years of leadership support for commerce ahead of personal and social health, generations have now been imprinted for self-addictive behaviors. Too late for constructive political and social education, guidelines, and regulation in these social areas, the individual must Choose if their Quality of Life is to be and extension of their own balanced and positive sense of personal worth, or, the Choice of others who are Self-obsessed for gain beyond any consideration for others.

IJC Index
Throughout our lives more of us than not change our work style, employment, work activities, or careers.
Often, that can lead to a change in our worklife energy demand such that we tend to move away from or towards greater or lesser energy demands. Too often, we do not adjust our level of calorie intake and meal composition and size to reflect these new realities.
Most often, our meals remain larger in calorie and bulk intake than would be best for us.
This is complicated and frustrated by both our family and social imprinting regarding meals and food.
Spouses and children may require reminding of our changed employment demands and our best health response.
We do not need to compete with or mirror the eating patterns of those at our table, or, their table.

Smoking increases the risk of tachycardia.
In addition, for people already diagnosed with heart trouble such as mild heart failure, continuing to smoke increases the risk of tachycardia and death.
People with existing tachycardia and implanted cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) who still smoke are more likely to have serious complications and to have their ICD shock them inappropriately due to rapid heartbeat than nonsmokers. Stop smoking if you have tachycardia.

Evaluation of guggulipid and nimesulide on production of inflammatory mediators ....
by Niranjan, Rituraj; Kamat, Pradeep Kumar; Nath, Chandishwar; Shukla, Rakesh
PubMed --- 2010-02-17
The simplest description of the dynamic here is that the more active we become, the more nitric oxide is present in our bloodstream, and, the more that is there, the more our heart is stimulated to beat faster and stronger. Guggulipid restricts, restrains, or balances the amount of nitric oxide in our blood ... so, our heart cannot be over-stimulated and forced into an exhaustion state resulting in tachycardia. Guggulipid also reduces the presence of cholesterol in the blood, arteries, and veins while at the same time reducing inflammation which is thought to create a demand for the cholesterol deposits. This reduces bloodflow resistance, which straightforwardly would decrease blood pressure, which would reduce the immediacy of the heart becoming overworked and being stressed into tachycardia. Of course you can change words around in this explanation to convey subtle differences; however, the end result is the same.
... guggulipid and nimesulide significantly attenuated nitrite release.
After treatment with guggul for 6 months in 200 patients with ischaemic heart disease with abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG), a fall of 39%, 51% and 32% in total cholesterol, triglycerides and total blood lipids was seen, with 26% of the patients having a normal ECG and another 59% showing improvement in ECG. Guggul has been shown to decrease high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), an index of inflammation, by 29%.
Although organic nitrates can dilate both arteries and veins, venous dilation predominates when these drugs are given at normal therapeutic doses. Venous dilation reduces venous pressure and decreases ventricular preload. This reduces ventricular wall stress and oxygen demand by the heart, thereby enhancing the oxygen supply/demand ratio. A reduction in preload (reduced diastolic wall stress) also helps to improve subendocardial blood flow, which is often compromised in coronary artery disease. Mild coronary dilation or reversal of coronary vasospasm will further enhance the oxygen supply/demand ratio and diminish the anginal pain.
Coronary dilation occurs primarily in the large epicardial vessels, which diminishes the likelihood of coronary vascular steal. Systemic arterial dilation reduces afterload, which can enhance cardiac output while at the same time reducing ventricular wall stress and oxygen demand. At high concentrations, excessive systemic vasodilation may lead to hypotension and a baroreceptor reflex that produces tachycardia. When this occurs, the beneficial effects on the oxygen supply/demand ratio are partially offset. Furthermore, tachycardia, by reducing the duration of diastole, decreases the time available for coronary perfusion, most of which occurs during diastole.
Coronary Anatomy and Blood Flow.

Richard E. Klabunde, PhD
Revised 12/21/2017
Extravascular compression during systole markedly affects coronary flow; therefore, most of the coronary flow occurs during diastole. Because of extravascular compression, the endocardium is more susceptible to ischemia especially at lower perfusion pressures. Furthermore, with tachycardia there is relatively less time available for coronary flow during diastole to occur – this is particularly significant in patients with coronary artery disease where coronary flow reserve (maximal flow capacity) is reduced.
In the presence of coronary artery disease, coronary blood flow may be reduced.
This will increase oxygen extraction from the coronary blood and decrease the venous oxygen content.
This leads to tissue hypoxia and angina. If the lack of blood flow is due to a fixed stenotic lesion in the coronary artery (because of atherosclerosis), blood flow can be improved within that vessel by
1) placing a stent within the vessel to expand the lumen,
2) using an intracoronary angioplasty balloon to stretch the vessel open, or
3) bypassing the diseased vessel with a vascular graft.
If the insufficient blood flow is caused by a blood clot (thrombosis), a thrombolytic drug that dissolves clots may be administered. Anti-platelet drugs and aspirin are commonly used to prevent the reoccurrence of clots. If the reduced flow is due to coronary vasospasm, then coronary vasodilators can be given (e.g., nitrodilators, calcium-channel blockers) to reverse and prevent vasospasm.
Choose: Socializing.
IJC Index
The TYPE of Socializing that we participate in can either reduce or magnify our experience of tachycardia episodes.
Joining or remaining in groups which encourage INTENSE emotional expression invite more emotional energy to be haphazardly added to our heart ENERGY budget. We know that when our personal TODAY threshold is reached, we will become highly likely to experience tachycardia episodes.
Socializing with others who regularly practice using or being exposed to the CAUSES, noted above as contributing to or triggering tachycardia incidents places us in a position of mirroring the membership for acceptance, or, creating conflict, respect, or, rejection by one or more of the members. Better that we choose wisely as to which groups we can healthfully afford to support.
Binge drinking and regular heavy alcohol use are known to increase people's risk of tachycardia.
Choose: Special Exercises.
IJC Index
We know that intense exercises, experiences of physical or emotional shock, and, higher risk movements and activities can encourage breakouts of tachycardia.
Attitude can be just as important as physical activity that is driven by and moderated by it.
Developing and expressing an attitude of looking at reality with a wide focus enables one to view one's surroundings from the point of view of oneself and many others. Choosing to develop compassion and empathy will assist one in avoiding dramatic and often exaggerated communications and actions.
Making movements and using gentle exercises places less energy demands and less opportunity for accidents, injuries, and muscle and joint strains and sprains.
Choose: Sports Carefully.

Exercise (can) strengthens the heart muscles allowing it to pump more blood with a lower heartbeat rate.
When we are practicing sports, heart beats faster than when we are at rest.
However, people who do physical exercise regularly have slower heartbeat when being at rest.
Regular exercise is also a way to release stress, one of the main causes of abnormal heart rhythm.
Attitude is the most RELEVANT aspect of Exercise for health that is seldom expressed anywhere can be offered by someone who has chosen to participate in some sports and not in others by way of self-awareness. This perspective appears to be unique, perhaps because the ethic of most TEAM sports centers on membership belonging and acceptance in support of tribal aggression and violence against competitive teams. Even when the ethic is converted to the more euphemistic competition against oneself, the individual is expected, and expects of themselves, a repetition of INTENSE physical exertion.
In a very similar fashion to the familiar troop indoctrination of military and para-military forces in preparation for war involvement, the individual is taught/imprinted/traumatized into an acceptance that they will acknowledge the superior decision making of a leader or authority and commit ALL of their physical, emotional, and spiritual energies in whatever direction has been demanded of them as BEST for whatever the outcome is to be. Whether it is an individual within a team participating for the win of their team over a competitive team, or, an individual participating in competition with themselves and their earlier performance level EMOTION and SPIRIT are usually co-opted.
EMOTION is often first consciously added to the Physical, and then, with repetition and acceptance by oneself and any group involved, it is automated into routine/habit and participation becomes robotic. Typically, the adversary, even if it is oneself, is taught to be viewed as, and believed to be, HATEFUL, FEARED, WEAK, ABUSIVE, and, UNLOVABLE. All of these emotions. especially when they are imposed with repetitive INTENSITY draw heavily upon a number of body organ systems which ultimately stress the heart. Digestion and assimilation are shut down/depressed. The adrenals are activated to emergency stations of activity. The liver is brought on board to both assist is supplying more calorie conversion for Action, and, more detoxification of excesses of hormones and toxins released by the emergency physical efforts being requested. The REALITY is that no physical body is created for extended periods of TERROR-driven activity. The heart will, eventually, become overstressed and signal ENOUGH by tachycardia expression.
SPIRIT is eventually involved in the super-competitive approach to exercise and the individual and team are brutalized by threats of Dismissal, or Rejection into surrendering all personal Choice of How Much, How Long, Against Whom to some direct human example of Authority (manager), or, symbolic example of Authority (Honor, Code, Winning, Power). It is hypocritical, yet a frequent satanic approach, to justify these extremes of action and negativity by clothing it in sentiments and false prayers to a god often represented by a human Authority. NEVER is God asked sincerely for what would be BEST for the individual or the team, or the sport because no one LISTENS for an answer which is always projected by the coach/warmaker. Soon, no team member questions the legitimacy and ethics of targeting an opposing team member for a crippling injury or of taking painkillers to enable oneself to continue aggressive actions with broken bones or severe joint or muscle injuries, or, a possible concussion. This is the sport of conquerors, empires, monopolies, dictatorships, abusers, enslavers ... as well as of the co-dependent, the worker, indebted, the student, trooper, and, member.This dynamic of SPORT, and War, is NOT health enhancing.
PLAY embraces an attitude of experimentation and self-development through activity.
When constructively supervised, persons involved in play are accepted as participants by their very presence.
One's level of skill is not regarded as a door capable of being opened to membership; rather, it is a signal that one IS a member and that one may increase the degree of support they receive and the the freedom to be innovative by their innate abilities, or, the abilities they choose to strengthen with patience, observation, practice, reflection, and, self-care. One expends effort because ... with a Calm Confidence one experiences the physical and emotional high of lightness and excitement by way of released endorphins, rather than the pain, stiffness, and fatigue imposed by threat and potential abandonment.
Human cultures, as they become populated by a larger and larger membership, turn away from Emotive, sharing, human caring and replace it with Rationalized, Authoritarian, co-dependency, and membership by surrender. There are few to none of political organizations or politically sanctioned institutions today (2019) which promote playful inclusive learning. It is at the core of many individualized practices of activity and "sport" where we find this ethic of INTERNAL Power development that seeks to appreciate most centrally the Power of the Reptilian Structure of each person even to a point of a connection to a "Sixth Sense". These can include Tai Chi, Karate, Chi Gong, Meditation, Science, Archery, Hunting and Discovery ... when they are participated in with an ethic of both taking pleasure in ever improving and perfecting one's learnings and skills, and, in one's humble achievements.
It is this Emotive form of Sport which seldom raises a symptom of tachycardia heart overwork, yet, can enable superior skill development and health.

Tachycardia: Causes, symptoms, and treatments
Medical News Today, Healthline Media, Inc.
By Christian Nordqvist
Last updated: Wed 29 Nov 2017
Reviewed by University of Illinois-Chicago, School of Medicine
POSSIBILITIES vs REALITY
The patient often KNOWS what they are experiencing, although "Silent" episodes will go unnoticed.
Many doctors are limited in their use of or consideration of diagnostic tests and procedures according to the POLITICAL system their Medical Association must defer to. To the degree that medical costs/expenses are covered by a provincial or state Budget, the career maintaining choices of the physician will be encouraged/threatened to run as FEW tests as possible, prescribe as MANY drugs as possible, and, DENY as many likelihoods as possible. Politicians believe they are elected on the basis of their conservative (minimal, cheap, restrictive) budgets they set. These sums are almost always inadequate to provide Quality care, and, Equally available to all care.
In 74 years of medical care exposure across 3 provinces in Canada, I have only been exposed to ONE physician who made a serious DIAGNOSTIC effort with any medical problem I sought help with. One other physician made a diagnostic attempt but his intention was sabotaged by the other "professionals" he had, by regulation, to hand off the process to. Perhaps you will fare better.
Running a test does NOT guarantee Relevancy, or, Accuracy of Interpretation.
Most fecal testing for intestinal parasites may only look for 15 or a common 50 variations of parasites.
I have had fecal tests visually showing blood or LIVE parasites be assessed as "normal."
Many digital imaging tests (CT scans, MRI's, x-rays, ...) are "assessed" in 5 to 10 minutes while physicians working in these fields for 25 or more years commonly complain that an assessment completed in less than 40 minutes is incompetent and useless. Stage 4 cancers have been MISSED! Science is only as good as the systems of regulations it is carried out in and the degree of experience and financial freedom within which the human judge is employed.

A doctor (may) diagnose tachycardia by asking some questions regarding symptoms, carrying out a physical exam, and ordering some
tests. These may include:
-
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Electrodes are attached to the skin to measure electrical impulses given off by the heart.
This test (may) also show any previous heart disease that may have contributed to the tachycardia.
PERSONAL:
My experience with these (2018 & 1992) is that more time is taking attaching electrode patches to one's skin than in running the test. Some years ago, as part of a health assessment included with a job application, the ECG -- I was given lasted for 45 minutes. A 10 second test is not possible of finding a heart irregularity which may only occur erratically on an average of once every 22 minutes, can it?
-
Echocardiogram
This is a type of ultrasound investigation.
By bouncing sounds of the structures in the body and registering the echoes, a moving image of the heart can be produced. This can help look for structural or congenital abnormalities that might be playing a role in tachycardia.
-
Blood tests
These (may) help determine whether thyroid problems or other substances may be factors contributing to tachycardia.
PERSONAL:
In several (and perhaps more/all) Canadian provinces (Provincial budgets are responsible for HEALTH - Medical Services in Canada, NOT Federal) the type of blood tests "allowed" are the cheap ones. As thyroid tests can indicate endemic health problems which are difficult to treat successfully on an INDIVIDUAL basis, test result interpretation guidelines are frequently changed to reflect Health Ministry budgets. I know of a person diagnosed as having thyroid disease in one province who upon moving to another province for employment reasons, was informed there that the province of the new location did NOT treat problem thyroid problems until the thyroid was "dead". Then, the thyroid was removed and the patient was placed on lifelong hormone replacement to endure the symptom complications involved with that.
-
Holter monitor.
The person with tachycardia wears a portable device that records all their heartbeats.
It is worn under the clothing and records information about the electrical activity of the heart while the person goes about their normal activities for 1 or 2 days.
PERSONAL:
I have been placed on a Holter monitor twice in the past 4 years (once in each of two Canadian provinces) for 24 hours. In the last test, in 2018, I experienced an OBVIOUS incident of tachycardia near the end of the duration and noted/flagged it. The assessment feedback I received, even following my drawing attention to this event, was that my heart was "normal and healthy". Less than 6 months later, the same doctor, demonstrated in his office, with an inexpensive, small, clip-on-your-finger, electronic test device with audible signal ... that I was experiencing significant "Silent" tachycardia ... the term he stressed. Is the Holter monitor validity dependent upon the expertise of the assessment person; is it flawed by model or design for tachycardia; some other reason for the inconsistency?
-
Event recorder.
This device is similar to a Holter monitor, but it does not record all the heartbeats. There are two types:
- One type uses a phone to transmit signals from the recorder while the person is experiencing symptoms.
- The other type is worn all the time for a long time. These can sometimes be worn for as long as a month.
This event recorder is (considered) good for diagnosing rhythm disturbances that happen at random moments.
-
Electrophysiological testing (EP studies)
This is an invasive, relatively painless, non-surgical test and can help determine the type of arrhythmia, its origin, and potential response to treatment. The test is carried out in an EP lab by an electrophysiologist and makes it possible to reproduce troubling arrhythmias in a controlled setting.
-
Tilt-table test.
If an individual experiences fainting spells, dizziness, or lightheadedness, and neither the ECG nor the Holter revealed any arrhythmias, a tilt-table test might be performed. This monitors blood pressure, heart rhythm, and heart rate while they are moved from a lying to an upright position.
When reflexes work correctly, they cause the heart rate and blood pressure to change when moved to an upright position. This is to make
sure the brain gets an adequate supply of blood.
If the reflexes are inadequate, this could explain the fainting spells and associated symptoms.
-
Chest X-ray.
The X-ray images (can) help the doctor check the state of the individual's heart and lungs.
Other conditions that explain the tachycardia might also be detected.

Hawthorn is a cardiotonic herb which means that it supports the functioning of the heart and vascular system.
It is a unique herb because it can be used for both high and low blood pressure.
Its blood pressure regulating effect is mediated by several components of the herb.
Hawthorn, especially the berries, contains bioflavinoids.
Bioflavinoids repair damaged vessels and dilate vessels in the heart and extremities.
This regulates blood pressure and also improves heart pain (angina) and leg pain (peripheral vascular disease) that are due to lack of blood flow.
Hawthorn also influences the angiotensin-converting enzyme, an enzyme that regulates blood pressure by balancing the amount of fluid in the vessels. Other antioxidants in hawthorn, called proanthocyanidins, decrease spasms in the blood vessels and reduce the build up of plaque in the arteries. Finally hawthorn improves heart functioning without altering the amount of blood going through the heart. This makes hawthorn a good choice for the treatment of mild heart failure.
Hawthorn may be recommended by practitioners for any of the following;
in the treatment of cardiovascular ailments, including
- hypertension,
- hypotension,
- congestive heart failure (CHF),
- arrhythmia,
- hyperlipidemia,
- coronary circulation disorders,
- Buerger’s disease, and
- atherosclerosis.
Hawthorn serves to increase cardiac output that has been impaired by pulmonary disease or hypertension.
It is also beneficial for gastrointestinal problems.
These include
- diarrhea,
- enteritis,
- epigastric distention,
- abdominal pain,
- acute bacillary dysentery, and
- indigestion.
.. Hawthorn fruit is good for treating
- amenorrhea (abnormal absence of menstruation) and
- tapeworm infections.
Hawthorn has
- antispasmodic,
- diuretic,
- astringent, and
- sedative properties.
Benefits of Tinctures
Capsules, soft gels and tablets are very popular.
Tinctures, however, have many advantages over these modes of delivery.
The bio-availability of tinctures is very high in comparison, because unlike pills tinctures don't rely on digestion to break them down.
Tinctures are readily absorbed by the body, beginning their work in the bloodstream almost as soon as they enter the mouth. Which is a very significant benefit. Note also that:
• Tinctures can be applied externally as well as internally
• Tinctures can be stored for long periods of time, even years, without loss of effectiveness
• Tinctures can be taken relatively accurately because they are administered in drops
Why are tinctures alcohol-based?
Not only is the alcohol in St. Francis tinctures indispensable for extracting the active ingredients of an herb, it is also needed to stabilize and preserve them. As well as limiting microbial activity, alcohol has the ability to inhibit enzymatic or hydrolytic reactions in plant extracts.
Alcohol plays the role of a carrier substance conveying active ingredients within the body.
Beyond that, it has been scientifically proven that small amounts of alcohol actually enhance the immune system and its defenses.
The amount of alcohol taken in an average dose of tincture, you'll be surprised to learn, is about the same as what you'd find in an overly ripe banana!
