That&#8217;s a whopping 115,200 times per day. Over the course of a year, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">your heart would beat about 42,048,000 times!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Let\u2019s listen to a healthy steady heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">That is the way you must keep your heart beating through life. Take care of your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">heart and your heart will give you a healthy good lifespan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Athletes and others who do strenuous exercises, may bring down their heart rate <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">according to the extent of training. Olympic athletes bring down their heart rate to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">40 beats per minute, for competitive performance<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">If you are sedentary, your heart rate may go up to 90 per minute, or more<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">If your heart rate is more than 90 beats per minute you need to see your doctor to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">check the reason. In such a situation if you neglect your heart may go into failure <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">without your knowing or may have a stroke or sudden arrest and death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">To be on the safe side, please check your pulse at your wrist, or side of neck, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">regularly at rest. During exercise it raises physiologically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">When the heart rate is rapid, we call it \u2018tachycardia\u2019 Sinus tachycardia is when the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">heart rate increases due to physical activities. In such situations, the increased rate <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">does not harm your heart<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Your heart rate may be regular or irregular. It may be irregular due to a dropped <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">beat. Please see your doctor early.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Your heart rate gets rapid if you are malnourished and anaemic. This is the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">commonest cause of tachycardia among many rural people in Sri Lanka. They need <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">a nourishing diet to make the heart work healthily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Frequent coffee drinkers have a rapid heart rate. If you eat chocolate bars daily, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">your heart becomes rapid due to the stimulation by the caffeine in the chocolate,<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">There is a term called inappropriate sinus tachycardia. About half of the time, this <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">phenomenon occurs after recovery from a serious illness, usually a viral illness. And <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">most often, those affected are women in their 20s and 30s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Inappropriate sinus tachycardia does not damage your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">The commonest cause of rapid heart rate is Atrial fibrillation. The term atrial or <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">atrium is used for the upper two chambers of the heart and the term ventricle is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">used to the lower two chambers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">When you go for your blood pressure check- up, in addition to upper and lower <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">readings, the pulse rate is as important in the management of high blood pressure <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">So, remember to know your pulse rate i.e. your heart rate, when you next visit you <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Atrial fibrillation may be due to irregular electrical impulses in the two upper <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">chambers or atria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">This raised irregular heart rate may be due to some heart disease, high blood <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">pressure, heart valve disorder, increased thyroxine hormone liberated from your <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">thyroid glands in your neck, we call it hyperthyroid state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">If you have an over-active thyroid there are other symptoms like, loss of weight <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">even when eating lot of food, thin and moist skin, bulging eyes, loose motions, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">tremors in your fingers and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Heavy alcohol abuse is another cause of rapid heart rate. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">Now let\u2019s talk about irregular heartbeats- doctors call it Arrythmia.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">You may feel that you are skipping a beat, or having added a beat When there are <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">added beats, we call it \u201cflutter\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">When the beat is irregular the rhythm may be fast or slow or too early. Many <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">arrythmias are harmless and many people live with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">It could be harmful too-then it is serious-may be due to damaged heart and you <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">must see your doctor immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">With irregular heartbeat if you feel dizzy, breathless or feel rapid heartbeats we call<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000080;\">palpitations \u2013 then it is serious.
