Is Sinus Tachycardia a Serious Condition?

Dear Netra ji,

Sinus tachycardia means your heart is beating faster than normal over 100 beats per minute but in a regular rhythm. While it’s sometimes harmless, it can be a concern depending on the cause and symptoms.

Understanding Sinus Tachycardia

• Common triggers: stress, anxiety, dehydration, fever, anaemia, or thyroid imbalance

• Often not serious if temporary or due to physical exertion

• Can be concerning if it occurs at rest or causes dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath

Treatment Options of Sinus Tachycardia

• Identify and treat the root cause (e.g. thyroid issues, anaemia, infection)

• Lifestyle changes: avoid caffeine, alcohol, and manage stress

• Medications only on doctor’s advice

• In rare cases, advanced procedures like electrophysiology study or ablation may be needed
