Tachycardia treatment in Coyoacán

Tachycardia is the increase in the rate at which the heart beats, perceived as a rhythm faster than usual. It can appear temporarily with exertion or emotions, or reflect another situation that is worth evaluating.

How it feels: a sensation of palpitations, strong or rapid heartbeats, and sometimes dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort.

Frequent causes: exercise, anxiety, fever, use of stimulants, or some heart rhythm disturbances.

Which specialist handles it? The cardiologist studies the function and rhythm of the heart, with support from the internist or the general practitioner in the initial assessment. If palpitations are frequent, intense, or accompanied by dizziness or chest pain, seeking medical care is the most sensible thing to do.
