Introduction: If you encounter very happy things in your daily life, at this time we will be particularly excited, and the heartbeat in the body will gradually accelerate, of course, if you usually carry out some strenuous exercise, you can also obviously feel that your heartbeat is accelerating. In the same case, older people will have a slower heart rate, of course, men's heart rate will be faster than women's.
This is enough to prove that a variety of reasons in daily life will affect our heart rate, many people will feel that the special curiosity rate is at this time how much is normal? Does the speed of the heart rate affect the health? Let's take a look.
01
What is a normal heart rate? Reminder: If you can stay within this range, you probably don't have to worry too much
When you usually measure blood pressure, the heart rate shown is the number of times we measure the heart beats every minute, under normal circumstances, the heart rate is 60 to 140 per minute, if your heart rate is in this range, then it is normal, but this is for ordinary people.
For athletes, many people may think that athletes' hearts beat faster, even if their heart rate is lower than that of the average person, usually around 50 beats a minute.
However, the speed of the heart rate should also be based on their own age factors, the younger the person, the faster their heart rate, the older the person will have the slower their rate of progress.
We can usually monitor our heart rate by wearing a smart watch when exercising, which can be more scientific and healthier exercise, and it is more conducive to physical health.
02
What are the effects of slowing down the heart rate?
Many people find that the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute when measuring heart rate, and some athletes have a slower heart rate, which is very normal, in fact, as long as the heart rate is controlled between 50 and 60 beats per minute, most people will not experience physical discomfort.
However, if it is less than 50 times per minute, it is likely to cause palpitations and other cardiac discomfort in the body, in addition to physiological factors, hypothyroidism, increased intracranial pressure, drug pathological sinus node syndrome, atrioventricular block, these conditions may cause slowing of the heart rate.
If the heart rate caused by these diseases slows down, we must be vigilant, such as increased intracranial pressure, if it is not found in time, it is likely to bring life-threatening to physical health.
Severe AV block and sick sinus syndrome are likely to lead to cardiac arrest.
03
What are the effects of a fast heart rate?
Some people have a slower heart rate, and some people have a faster heart rate, even in a quiet state, the heart rate exceeds 100 times per minute, and the heart rate increases in a quiet state, first of all, to find a clear cause.
Factors such as nervousness, agitation, anxiety, alcoholism and other factors can cause increased heart rate, anemia, fever shock, hyperthyroidism, heart failure drugs and other factors, which can also cause tachycardia.
After the occurrence of tachycardia, patients will have more obvious palpitations, and may also have shortness of breath and chest tightness.

3 ways to maintain a normal heart rate
Keep a good attitude
Maintaining a good attitude and stabilizing personal emotions will help stabilize your heart rate.
People's mood changes will also affect the heart rate, in the state of excitement, tension, anxiety heart rate will be accelerated, but also affect the endocrine secretion of certain hormones to increase the amount of secretion, and then bring about an impact.
Scientific exercise
Scientific exercise is helpful for maintaining a stable heart rate, enhancing heart function, and exercise is an effective method.
By actively exercising the body, it can improve the resistance, promote blood circulation throughout the body, and also improve the contraction ability of the heart muscle, so as to achieve the effect of improving the function of the heart.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol
The smoke produced by cigarette burning can stimulate nerves, excite people, and cause the heart rate to be too fast.
Alcohol also speeds up the heartbeat and increases the oxygen consumption of the heart muscle. Long-term smoking and alcohol abuse can easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the arteries and cause heart diseases such as angina.
05
Pay special attention
(1) 60 to 100 beats / minute is no longer the gold standard of normal heart rate, for different patients, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, heart failure and other diseases, we must pay special attention to the control of heart rate.
(2) The heart rate is affected by a variety of factors, when the heart rate is too fast and too slow, the influencing factors should be carefully analyzed, do not rush to use the drug, if you need to use the drug, you must use it reasonably under the doctor's advice.
