Fast heart rate

The average heart rate of any individual might vary depending on factors including age, gender, and physical condition. The normal heart rate of an adult ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute while they are at rest and not moving over. Fast heart rate is the term for a condition when the heart rate is more than 100 beats per minute. Heart palpitations frequently result in a worrying sensation and a racing heart. Fast heart rate is typically alarming, although it can sometimes be unimportant. In fewer cases, a fast heart rate may be a sign of a serious cardiac disease requiring specialized cardiology care.

There is often no need to consult a professional because this experience will typically be rare and brief, even if it lasts only a few seconds. You should consult a professional if you have a history of heart disease, this fast heart rate happens regularly, or it is growing worse. Your doctor may conduct imaging or laboratory experiments to assess what is causing this behavior.
