High pulse at normal pressure

Tachycardia is one of the most common disorders of the heart rhythm, manifested in rapid, more than 90 beats per minute, palpitations. Rapid heartbeat is a characteristic symptom with increased arterial pressure, but in addition, cases of tachycardia at normal pressure are quite common.

Normal pressure and pulse of a person

Arterial pressure and pulse are among the first indicators characterizing the state of human health.

Pulse (Latin pulsus - stroke, shock) - periodic oscillations of the walls of blood vessels associated with cardiac contractions. The pulse rate corresponds to the number of heartbeats per minute. On average, a normal pulse at rest is 60-80 beats per minute. Higher values ​​at rest indicate the presence of any disease or pathology.

Blood pressure is the blood pressure in large human arteries, it is measured in millimeters of mercury, and its deviation from normal values ​​indicates a risk of serious diseases, primarily associated with the cardiovascular system. At a pressure above the optimal (120/80), palpitations are almost always observed.

What provokes a high pulse at normal pressure?

Depending on the causes that caused the pulse to increase at normal pressure, a physiological or pathological tachycardia is isolated.

In the first case, pulse acceleration is observed in healthy people with normal heart function as a reaction to physiological factors: physical stress, stress, and after the cessation of their effects comes back to normal. So during training or other physical activities, the pulse of a trained person can increase to 100-120 beats per minute. And in a person who does not receive regular physical exertion, up to 140-160. However, in a healthy person, the pulse and pressure return to normal values ​​10-15 minutes after the termination of the load.

If the pressure is normal, and the pulse is high even at rest, then it is a disease. The pathologies that can cause a rapid pulse at normal pressure include:

Why does the pulse increase?

Increased heart rate means increased heart rate. Since the heart overtakes blood and provides oxygen delivery throughout the body, in case of lack of it, the heart rate increases. This can occur with various diseases of the respiratory system, as well as with anemia.

In addition, irregularities in the work of the heart can be caused by disruptions in the endocrine system as a result of excessive release of certain hormones. However, if the adrenal gland failures, an increase in pressure is usually observed, therefore, under normal pressure, it is most likely that the thyroid gland is hyperactive. In this case, in addition to increasing the pulse, patients often suffer from insomnia or sleep disturbances.

In the event that the increase in heart rate is not constant, and attacks, it is often a symptom of heart disease.

If the increase in the pulse is caused by a serious illness, then it can be accompanied by a general deterioration of well-being:

Often a person is not disturbed by a rapid pulse, and he can for a long time not even suspect that the indicators go beyond the norm. But to ignore a tachycardia it is not necessary, as in due course she can progress and become the reason of serious problems with health.
