Vitamin B6 paired with magnesium can help an irregular heartbeat and arrhythmia.
Magnesium and potassium help keep your heart stable.
If your body doesn't have enough magnesium, it can cause an irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness, and irritability.
When you have arrhythmia you will usually feel like you have a flutter or quiver in your chest when your heart beats.
Arrhythmia means your heart is out of its usual rhythm and with arrhythmia you may feel like your heart skipped a beat, added a beat, or is "fluttering."
It might feel like it's beating too fast (which doctors call tachycardia) or too slow (called bradycardia).
Or in some cases you might not notice anything.
Your heart might beat faster than usual, pound, or race.
The feeling often lasts for a few minutes.
A lack of sleep or no sleep can cause arrhythmia, irregular heart beat and heart palpitations.
No sleep or lack of sleep can cause arrhythmia and put you at risk for atrial fibrillation.
Poor sleep, including abrupt awakenings, can generate a sharp uptick in heart rate.
Research has also found that people with sleeping problems are more likely to complain of an irregular heartbeat.
For these reasons, lack of sleep may be tied to heart palpitations.
A VT episode is ventricular tachycardia which is a fast abnormal heart rhythm.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT or V-tach) is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia.
It occurs when the lower chamber of the heart beats too fast to pump well and the body doesn't receive enough oxygenated blood.
The condition of ventricular fibrillation is life threatening.
When someone is experiencing ventricular fibrillation it requires medical treatment quickly or it can result in death.
In ventricular fibrillation, the heart's beating process isn't happening in the right order.
Both ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation are considered life-threatening because they can lead to collapse and sudden cardiac arrest.
In emergencies, both are typically treated with defibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation is worse than ventricular tachycardia as Atrial Fibrillation can cause loss of consciousness and even death more quickly than ventricular tachycardia.
The ventricular tachycardia is not the same as atrial fibrillation as ventricular fibrillation is more serious than atrial fibrillation.
Ventricular fibrillation frequently results in loss of consciousness and death, because ventricular arrhythmias are more likely to interrupt the pumping of blood, or undermine the heart's ability to supply the body with oxygen-rich blood.
In AFib, the heart's rate and rhythm will become irregular. Although serious, AFib is not typically an immediately life-threatening event. In VFib, the heart will no longer pump blood. VFib is a medical emergency that will lead to death if not treated promptly.
The first-line treatment for ventricular tachycardia are anti-arrhythmic medications such as amiodarone which is most commonly used, along with lidocaine, and in some cases procainamide.
The most common cause of ventricular tachycardia is heart disease although stress and anxiety can lead to ventricular tachycardia as well.
Most cases ventricular tachycardia is caused by heart disease, such as a previous heart attack, a congenital heart defect, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, or myocarditis.
Amiodarone is the drug of choice for the treatment of hemodynamically unstable VT that is refractory to other antiarrhythmic agents.
Ventricular tachycardia does sometimes go away on it's own within 30 seconds.
However if the ventricular tachycardia does not go away within 30 seconds it can be life threatening so you need medical attention to get it to go away.
Ventricular Tachycardia can be serious if it lasts longer than a few seconds which it can then be life threatening.
Ventricular tachycardia episodes may be brief and last only a couple of seconds without causing harm.
But episodes lasting more than a few seconds can be life-threatening.
Sometimes ventricular tachycardia can cause the heart to stop (sudden cardiac arrest).
Ventricular tachycardia is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia.
It occurs when the lower chamber of the heart beats too fast to pump well and the body doesn't receive enough oxygenated blood.
Tachycardia does not always shorten your life but if left untreated the tachycardia can shorten your life and cause death eventually.
Some people with tachycardia have no symptoms, and complications never develop.
However, it can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, sudden cardiac arrest, and death.
There are different types of tachycardia, depending on which part of the heart has the problem.
Tachycardia can damage the heart if left untreated and in serious cases can cause death.
Some forms of tachycardia can lead to serious health problems, including heart failure, stroke or sudden cardiac death.
Being dehydrated can cause tachycardia.
Also when you're dehydrated your blood pressure can lower your blood pressure and also lead to heart palpitations.
Dehydration causes strain on your heart.
The amount of blood circulating through your body, or blood volume, decreases when you are dehydrated.
To compensate, your heart beats faster, increasing your heart rate and causing you to feel palpitations.
Staying properly hydrated is important to help keep your heart healthy and working properly.
Anxiety as well as stress can cause tachycardia and if the tachycardia is a result of anxiety or stress then it usually is not serious and will go away.
With tachycardia your heart rate may speed up to 200 beats per minute or even faster.
A fast heart rate can make you feel lightheaded and short of breath.
Or you might feel fluttering or pounding in the chest.
Usually, tachycardia that happens in response to emotional stress and only lasts a few minutes is not harmful.
Tachycardia cannot be cured by changes to your lifestyle and medications can help treat the tachycardia condition.
You may also need to have a procedure, such as an ablation, to help you manage the tachycardia condition.
To treat tachycardia you can take some aspirin or other NSAIDS, drink some water, relax and lay down and try calming down as much as possible.
Most cases of tachycardia resolve on their own but in more severe cases you may need a pacemaker installed to control the heart palpitations.
The doctor can also give you some medications to help treat the tachycardia condition as well.
To treat tachycardia at home the best thing you can do is try to relax, take some aspirin and drink some water.
The tachycardia should resolve itself within a few hours of resting but if not or it gets worse you should see a doctor or get to the emergency room if you think you're having a heart attack.
The most common triggers for tachycardia are stress, anxiety, Strenuous Exercise, Fear, Fever and even some medications can trigger tachycardia.
Even street drugs can lead to tachycardia as it speeds your heart up.
You should worry about tachycardia if you experience unexplained tachycardia or the tachycardia does not go away within 8 hours or less or the tachycardia continues longer than a day.
Also if you experience palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting spells, fatigue, breathlessness or chest pain along with the tachycardia or you have had heart attacks before, have heart disease etc.
In rare cases tachycardia can kill you and be life threatening.
So if you do experience tachycardia you should go to the doctor, walk in clinic, urgent care etc to get checked out just in case the tachycardia is caused by some more serious health issues.
Most cases of tachycardia are just scary though and non life threatening but if you already have heart problems, have had heart attacks, strokes etc in the past then seek medical attention to be safe.
