Tachycardia: causes and signs. How to treat?
Tachycardia, along with a heart attack, is considered the “heart” disease of our century. It can be primary if it is a manifestation of ischemia, heart defects and chronic lung diseases - bronchitis, bronchial asthma.
The rapid heart rate (more than 90 beats/minute), which characterizes this heart disease, can be a consequence of frequent stress, fear, anxiety, and even simple physical activity. In this case, tachycardia is considered secondary.
The type of tachycardia can be determined by echo monitoring , ECG, ultrasound of the heart and thyroid gland. If the test result is negative, tachycardia is secondary.
If there is a sharp increase in heart rate that lasts for 10-15 minutes, you must immediately take a sedative - valocordin, Corvalol with water or sugar, put glycine under the tongue, drink tincture of valerian, mint or lemon balm. It may also be helpful to place a damp cloth or cold cloth on your forehead or neck.
With anemia, tachycardia is also possible, since with low hemoglobin, the blood supply to the tissues decreases, and the heart begins to contract faster to compensate for the lack of oxygen in the tissues. For anemia, it is necessary to consume iron supplements and vitamin C.
How to quickly stop tachycardia? Tachycardia is considered a normal phenomenon in adolescents during a period of active growth, and is also not excluded at elevated body temperatures: 70-80 pulse beats per minute at temperatures up to 39 degrees is absolutely normal. At a temperature above 39 degrees, you need to take Coldrex or paracetamol to bring it down, since with an increased heartbeat the body quickly gets tired.
Secondary tachycardia can be pacified with a variety of herbal infusions. For its long-term treatment, you can prepare a decoction of lemon balm, mint and valerian, pour 2 tbsp. spoons of herbs 0.5 liters of boiling water for 5-10 minutes and take the infusion for 2-3 weeks.
To reduce the release of adrenaline, you can put half a tablet of mezapam or phenazepam under your tongue.
It is better to replace evening coffee or tea with soothing infusions of rosehip and motherwort, which lower blood pressure.
Doctors do not advise getting carried away with valerian: take no more than 1 tablet 3 times a day for 10 days. You don't need excessive sleepiness, do you? For people for whom sleeping at work is contraindicated, we can recommend 1 tablet of Grandaxin under the tongue 2 times a day.
Cardiovascular drugs such as mildronate, trental or teopeca, which stimulate blood flow, can cause tachycardia. Alcoholic drinks of any strength can also become tachycardia stimulants, along with unusual and spicy foods.
Your fiery engine cannot forever “take the rap” for your frivolous attitude towards health. Get a preventive examination from a cardiologist , take care of your heart, and it will serve you for many years.

Motherwort extract in tablets, reviews
During pregnancy, women are exposed to stress and anxiety, which are often unfounded. To avoid this, many take this drug, as it has minimal contraindications. On the Internet you can often find reviews about Motherwort Extract left by expectant mothers. These pills are usually prescribed by the attending physician, who accompanies the woman throughout her pregnancy.
Here are some reviews:
- “... My gynecologist prescribed these pills to me because I was very nervous. If you are very worried, then drink, because in our situation there is nothing worse than fears”;
- “... The drug helped me keep calm, and besides, it is plant-based. The gynecologist recommended taking it.”
Of course, doctors usually advise patients to take tablets that contain only one motherwort extract.
There are many opinions that the drug causes drowsiness . Although it does not work this way for everyone. Some tablets are taken in the morning during breakfast and in the afternoon at work. This is especially important so as not to be nervous, but also not to experience extreme drowsiness.
You can find the following reviews:
- “... I took various sedative pills, but they made me really want to sleep. This was a huge problem. Motherwort became a real godsend for me; it not only brought calm, but also did not make me sleepy.”
Others, on the contrary, take the drug as a sleeping pill:
- “... I take a couple of Motherwort tablets when I go to bed. The effect of it is good - I fall asleep and my consciousness remains clear.”
Thus, the drug affects each person individually. If you experience any health problems, it is better to consult a doctor immediately. Thus, you will immediately receive the necessary treatment and maintain your health.
MOONBORN EXTRACT (tablets)
health, and in order to sleep well, it is better to recommend a couple of valerian pills before bed.
Naturally, over time, due to nervous tension at work, you notice that the usual valerian no longer helps and you begin to look for some not too strong and natural alternative. This is how we actually came to motherwort extract. The principle of action of these pills is the same - to calm and relieve nervous tension. But their cost, unlike a drug with a similar effect, is much higher. Although everything is possible and depends on the manufacturer.
We are thrifty people and took from the time-tested pharmaceutical company Pharmstandard-Leksredstva a package of motherwort containing 50 tablets in dosages of 14 mg.
One box contains five blisters of 10 tablets. It’s convenient to leave part of the house, take one or two blisters to work, and they’re also enough for a travel first aid kit.
What I like about the packaging of medicines from this particular manufacturer is that the blisters are extremely airtight, plastic-foil. If stored incorrectly, by and large, the medicine is not dangerous. Well, unless you take the tablet out of its cell and accidentally wet it.
Speaking of them, about tablets. They are white-gray in color with splashes of grass characteristic.
The pills themselves are without risks, and in fact they are not needed there at such a small dosage. You need to drink following the instructions, which are attached only to the general packaging for all five blisters.
Information for patients is not duplicated on each blister. There is only an expiration date, the name of the drug and the manufacturer.
However, like any other drug, there are contraindications. However, from the list indicated in the annotation, we do not have a single disease or ailment that prevents us from taking motherwort, and we take it from time to time. True, for each of us we determined our dosage and time of administration through testing. For example, a husband can use motherwort only when he does not need to drive a car and only in the first half of the day, since otherwise, when taken in the evening, he does not experience a sedative effect at all, but rather an stimulating one. As for me, my treatment time comes just before bed - I take a motherwort pill and sleep like the dead, even if a cannon fires under my ear, I won’t wake up. And in the morning there are no visible residual consequences of the stress that happened the day before. Your hands don’t shake, your knees don’t tremble, and your heart beats at its normal rhythm, without tap dancing. Well, we also noticed that motherwort treatment has a cumulative effect - the longer you drink, the more peaceful you become. In some situations for which you prepare in advance and for which you simply need to think “soberly,” this medicine simply helps out. However, hypotensive people, like me, need to be careful with motherwort, since it has been shown that it has the ability to lower blood pressure, and it may happen that having cured one ailment, you can provoke another. Of course, healthy people should not consume motherwort often or in large quantities. This drug is more likely for short-term courses or one-time maintenance use.
