Prenatal check-up for sinus tachycardia, have you persisted in doing so?

Some expectant mothers find that they have sinus tachycardia during prenatal check-ups and are very worried about the safety of their baby. In fact, there are many causes of sinus tachycardia. If it is physiological, there is no need to worry, and there will be no adverse effects after proper adjustment; but if it is pathological, you must pay special attention.

1. What is sinus tachycardia on the electrocardiogram?

In life, people often suffer from diseases, including sinus tachycardia. However, many people do not actually understand what sinus tachycardia is. Below, I will explain to you what electrocardiogram sinus tachycardia is.

Sinus tachycardia is the most common type of tachycardia, which refers to the rate of sinus node impulse formation in adults exceeding 100 beats per minute, and the rate is usually between 101 and 160 beats per minute. The heart rate gradually increases and slows down when sinus tachycardia starts and ends. Its occurrence is often related to sympathetic nerve excitement and decreased vagal nerve tone.

The clinical manifestations of sinus tachycardia are palpitations, sweating, dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, or manifestations of the primary disease. In addition, it may induce other arrhythmias or angina pectoris, and the heart rate is mostly between 101 and 160 beats per minute.

Exercise and emotional stress can cause tachycardia in healthy people; while alcohol, tea, coffee and drugs such as isoproterenol and atropine often cause sinus tachycardia. In the disease state, common causes are fever, hypotension, hypoxia, cardiac insufficiency, anemia, hyperthyroidism, and myocarditis.

Prevention of sinus tachycardia is important, as sinus tachycardia is not a separate disease. When the disease occurs, you should try to avoid triggers, such as drinking strong tea, drinking alcohol, and using drugs that excite the heart and speed up the heart rate; also pay attention to repeated attacks, obvious symptoms, and when they affect your daily life and work, you should seek medical attention in time to find out the cause as soon as possible to facilitate prevention and treatment. If you have heart and lung diseases or other systemic diseases, you should actively treat them; the most important thing is to keep a happy mood and avoid excessive excitement and anxiety.

2. Pregnant women with sinus tachycardia should mainly do the following:

1. Sinus tachycardia is caused by functional changes in the heart. It does not require treatment and will recover after delivery. For now, you should pay attention to rest.

2. Blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg is above the normal range. If it is accompanied by edema or proteinuria, it can be diagnosed as pregnancy-induced hypertension. You must go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease and causing danger to the mother and baby. In addition, you should eat a light diet and get enough rest.

3. The enlargement of breasts during pregnancy is caused by hormones. Do not use a bra that is too tight, and use pure cotton products to relieve itching.

In addition, pregnant women are advised not to stand up suddenly or get up suddenly when lying down, so as to avoid dizziness caused by low blood pressure due to poor blood circulation. In addition, try to drink less coffee, do not work too hard, rest more, and do not be too nervous. As long as it does not affect your daily life, the normal accelerated heart rate will not have adverse effects on pregnant women or fetuses.
