I'm experiencing moments when my pulse rate shoots up to 200 or more, and it lasts for about 4 to 5 hours. Can you help me understand why this is happening?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A pulse rate of 200 and above for 4 to 5 hours can be a sign of a serious medical condition called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). SVT is a rapid heart rate that starts in the upper chambers of the heart. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, or underlying heart conditions. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience such high and prolonged heart rates. The medication that can be used to help control SVT includes medications like Adenosine or Verapamil. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by a healthcare professional based on your individual case.
