What Does a Heart Rate of Around 185 Beats Per Minute Mean?

1. A heart rate of around 185 beats per minute indicates tachycardia. Patients need further examination to identify the specific cause and receive timely treatment.

2. The normal range of heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. Once it reaches 185 beats per minute, it significantly exceeds the maximum value. This situation means that the patient has tachycardia and the heart is working under overload. Patients may experience symptoms such as palpitations and dyspnea. To avoid heart failure caused by long-term high-load beating of the heart, it is necessary to reduce the heart rate in a timely manner based on the specific cause.

3. There are many causes of tachycardia in daily life. For example, very intense exercise can lead to tachycardia due to body hypoxia, but this is a physiological factor and can generally recover after a period of rest. However, if it is caused by pathological factors such as coronary atherosclerosis or acute myocardial infarction, treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's instructions.

4. Regular heart checks should be performed, and good living habits should be maintained, with emphasis on adequate rest, especially for patients with heart disease, to prevent deterioration of the condition.
