What is Rapid Heartbeat (Tachycardia)?
Tachycardia is a medical condition in which the heart beats faster than normal, typically above 100 beats per minute when at rest. This can be caused by stress, anxiety, certain medications, or medical conditions such as high blood pressure or heart disease. In addiction recovery, tachycardia can occur as a withdrawal symptom or in response to anxiety.
Management may include relaxation techniques, medication, and addressing underlying health issues to stabilize heart rate and improve overall health.
