37 yo hit with sinus tach. Very worried. Any natural remedies?

Forgot to mention I am 37 year old Asian male.

Kardia Mobile always says its ECG isn't accurate above 100 bpm. I got tachycardia recorded when I tried. If you wait until your rate is below 100 it should show normal. Tachcardia just means fast pulse rate, which can just mean at the time of recording.

I don't think its anything to worry about - it sounds like stress and anxiety is elevating your pulse rate and BP. Try taking measurements when relaxed. Beta blockers should slow your resting PR down.

Why not have some tests to check for peripheral artery disease, perhaps an echocardiogram if you are worried? 37 is quite young to be affected by blocked arteries.

I am sorry you are going through this. However you are very young and remember that anxiety tachycardia can pop up out of nowhere. you don’t have to feel anxious for it to happen. I have had that many many times. so you don’t have to feel stressed out to get the tachycardia.

Sometimes we have an underlying anxiety that we’re not even aware of that causes this to happen. So many people on this site have said the same thing.

BPM of 115 and 95 are not really that high at all.

And I want to let you know that I am in my early 60s now and I have had all sorts of scary symptoms starting in my 20s with the rapid heartbeat, every anxiety symptom you can think of, I also have arterial blockage in my family. but every time I went to the doctor the testing was all normal. I knew then it had to be underlying anxiety.

one thing I have learned to do over the years is to stop the worry and fear. It is crippling. It does not allow you to enjoy life especially your family. This is so important. Because when I found out my symptoms were related to anxiety, I realized how many years I wasted in fear and missed out on so much. Please don’t do that to yourself! Chances are you are perfectly fine but may have some underlying anxiety. when my dad was around your age he found out he had a bundle branch block and thought he wasn’t going to have a long life. He constantly worried about this. And he did waste a lot of years in fear. He lived to the ripe old age of 89! And he never had any problems with it. Enjoy your family!

when you feel the rapid heartbeat, a great way to tone it all down is to listen to some great short meditations on YouTube for anxiety. One I really like that always works for me is called don’t panic. Even if you’re not panicking it slows down the heart rate. She guides you through it. another one is called mindfulness breathing guided meditation 10 minutes. . There are many others on there .

SO practice the proper breathing, that is the key to managing anxiety., Do things you enjoy especially with your family, stay positive, counseling can help a lot with this, get some exercise and eat healthy. Whenever you get a negative thought don’t get anxious about it let it pass and then go do something else.

You’re going to be fine just like I was! message me anytime! Take care ❤

Hey mate, I had a similar issue whilst studying at uni, and mine was health anxiety surrounding my heart. I would get heart palpitations all the time which would reinforce my fear of having a heart defect. The panic attacks would make me feel like I was having a heart attack and my hear rate would jump within a split second to over 160bpm. It took ages to get out of this cycle because any little trigger would set my heart racing, which would reinforce the idea that I had a heart defect. I had all the tests done, I went to A&E many times, I've had very dramatic panic attacks in public thinking I was dying and....I'm totally over that specific fear and my heart is healthy.

So...I would really recommend looking into meditation, or even something like yin yoga which is very relaxing, restorative and you breathe into your poses which feels like meditation. Definitely get some cbt (cognitive behaviour therapy) if you aren't doing so already, this will really help.

No matter how many times you seek reassurance, you will never get rid of the fear. If all of the tests are fine and the doctors have given you the all clear, then you have to work on the anxiety by slowly challenging it. My fear was triggered by exercise because I was convinced my heart would give out if I elevated my heart rate. So I just started by doing 5 mins of exercise and sitting with the anxiety and not engaging in any checking behaviours etc, then I built it up over time. This is just an example of what I did. A CBT specialist will be able to help you with this so definitely look into that. This, combined with meditation allowed me to move on.

I also want to say that you will get through this and that it may feel like the world is ending and that the fears are real, but once you work on the anxiety these symptoms will slowly go away.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Let me begin by sincerely thanking every single responder on this thread; as you could see from original post, I was emotionally very weak and needed the support that the responses have provided. Very, very encouraging.

I have treadmill/stress EKG scheduled, so we'll see what that reveals. All this being just anxiety will likely be the best outcome, because I can take advise from this thread and elsewhere to begin yoga/meditation, learn to relax/not worry about things etc.

I will try to keep the thread updated.

Thank you once again!
