Tachycardia — Which Doctor Should I See?

Tachycardia is when your heart beats faster than normal, typically over 100 beats per minute at rest. It can be caused by exercise, stress, fever, or underlying medical conditions.

Seek medical attention if you experience persistent rapid heartbeat, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting. These could indicate a serious condition requiring evaluation.

Common causes include fever, anxiety, caffeine, dehydration, hyperthyroidism, anemia, heart disease, and certain medications. Identifying the cause is important for proper treatment.
