Heart Rate Warning Sign: Ignoring a fast heartbeat can be costly. If you are alert in time, life can be saved but if you are even slightly careless, the risk of heart attack can increase.
Heart Rate Warning Sign: The heart is a very delicate but important organ of our body. As long as it beats, we are alive, meaning the heartbeat is proof of a person being alive. As long as it beats normally, it is fine, but if the heartbeat suddenly increases, it can be a warning bell.
Doctors say that if the heart rate exceeds the set limit, then it can be a direct sign of a heart attack. In such a situation, it may be difficult to save life. Know how much heart rate is normal, what limit should be crossed to alert and how can you save yourself from this danger...
What should be the normal heart rate
The heart rate of a normal adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM). If it goes above 100 BPM, it is called 'Tachycardia' i.e. abnormal fast heartbeat. A consistently high heart rate puts pressure on the heart and causes disturbances in the blood supply.
When should you understand heart rate as a danger signal?
According to doctors, if the heart rate reaches 120 BPM or more and you are in a relaxed state, then be alert immediately. Along with this, if problems like dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, restlessness or sweating are occurring, then this can be a direct alarm sign of a heart attack. You can check the real time heart rate with a mobile fitness band or smartwatch.
