If I have sinus tachycardia is it safe to exercise?
My resting heart rate is usually between 90-150... so my question is it really safe to exercise? My Cardiologist says I will know when to stop, but I don't want to cause any problems...
----------
I would listen to my cardiologist. If you are taking ANY statin drugs that is reducing your cholesterol output from your liver, I would be VERY concerned about the thinning of the arterial walls. This can lead to a stroke and any strenuous exercise would not be good.
If you are taking statin drugs, you need to get a high quality CoQ-Quinol, not the typical CoQ-10 junk sold in stores. The fully reduced form is about 20 times more potent and will actually support dying cells, unlike the typical CoQ-10 junk you buy in stores that will actually damage your DNA.
I would also see a Certified Nutritional Therapist that can get you on a high quality diet and supplements. Doctors are not trained in nutrition and should be working in conjunction with nutritionists to give you the best chance at getting healthy.
good luck to you (

Is ventricular tachycardia the same thing as sinus tachycardia?
No
Sinus tach is a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute that originates from the heart's "natural pacemaker"--the sino-atrial node. When you have a fever or exercise and your heart rate goes higher than 100--you are most likely in sinus tach.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a fast (>100) rhythm from the bottom chambers of the heart--it is a serious and often fatal anormal heart rhythm (

what is th difference between sinus tachycardia, ventricular tachyardia and supventricular tachyardia?
I had a few skips that went into a very fast heart rate the other day and I am just wondering which would it could have been and how do they tell which one. I went to ER everything checked out OK
----------
Sinus tach comes from the SA node in the heart, the normal "pace-maker" of the heart. Ventricular tach is a rapid heart rate that originates in one or both of the ventricles and often doesn't produce a pulse. Supra-ventricular tach is a rapid heart rate that originates anywhere above the ventricles. Without seeing the rhythm on a heart monitor, it's impossible to say which you had.
Don't rely on the ER for a problem such as this. They're designed for emergencies, putting band-aids on and telling you to see your doctor, etc. Make an appointment with a cardiologist who can order tests, procedures, etc. to determine the cause and then treat it.
Good luck...
Add: To "the doctor" -- WHAT!?! Sinus = the nose area??? You're full of it, buddy. Where did you get your degree? Never mind, I can tell you don't have one... (

ECG results - sinus tachycardia and possible right atrial hypertrophy?
What does it mean? My resting heart rate hovers around 120bpm but I'm not having any symptoms, but now I'm starting to get worried! My doc wants me to have an echocardiogram and see a cardiologist. What are they looking for? I had thought I wouldn't be at risk for heart problems because I'm a healthy 21yr old.
What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
Thanks for your help.

Think of it this way, your Heart is a well oil machine that must work in sync, "If" one area or chamber is deficient the others will accommodate it accordingly. On the upper part of your Right Atrium and enbedded in the Mediastinal wall....is your SA Node (Your Hearts pacemaker) and should that atrium become damaged in any way, it CAN change the rhythm of your heart, I am NOT saying this is your problem. It is a possibility though!!
The Sinus Node (SA Node) then follows down to the AV Node (Atreo-Ventricular Node) and on to the Hiss Perkengie Fibers that surround your heart and brings electrical stimulas. If the SA Node delivers a slightly faster Initiation, all other areas will respond accordingly.
Having said this, your appointment to see a Cardiologist is appropriate and needful, because other situations CAN occur secondarily to this particular situation. Just a NOTE here.....age has nothing to do with it and never will, because we have been created with fallable bodies.
The need here is to "Inspect" the Rhythm situation and possible cause, hope fully it will be something "Mechanical".
ALSO......with right Atrial Hypertrophy (Being sort of baggy-saggy) your SA Node will endeavor to compensate for this condition.....increased Heart Rate. Having said that....the other parts of your Heart will follow suit as well. Everything is designed to do so. (

Sinus tachycardia and exercise?
My heart rate has gone up to 120 bpm, but that has only been a couple of times. I am 29, a smoker, and have been pretty inactive for the past year and a half. While I was in shape, I didn't have this problem.
Do you think that exercise is okay, and that it will alleviate the problem? My resting heart rate averages about 80-90 bpm.
----------
Resting heart rate up to 80 is normal,90 a bit higher side. If u r a smoker this may be the cause than cut down tabacco.
If it is simple sinus tachycardia occassionaly, u cud start exercise with gradual increase in time & intensity.
If needed get an cardiologist opinion & ECG examination before starting. But it is must to be active physically for fitness. (

Which new onset cardiac rhythm would be top priority: atrial flutter or sinus tachycardia?
Atrial flutter. Sinus tachycardia is typically secondary to fever, pain, dehydration, or anxiety. New onset of atrial flutter indicates something is interfering with proper cardiac function. (

I know what inappropriate sinus tachycardia is. ?
I wanted to hear from other people who have it to see how they deal with the symptoms they have. Stress makes mine worse. Does it effect anyone else this way? I haven't heard of anyone else that has this problem that I know personally That is why I am asking if anyone else has been diagnosed with this?

To the second writer, I thought the same thing until I researched it on line. IST has been recognized as a syndrome since 1979. I started working in CCU in 1983 and I have never heard of it until I researched this question. The patients HR increases rapidly with minimal exertion. They have symptoms of palpitations, fatique, exercise intolerance, orthostatic hypotension, blurred vision,SOB,tingling and sweatig (
