A member asked:

How does brain damage cause taccycardia? how is it treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

brain damage: While severe brain damage might cause tachycardia this would be most unusual - tachycardia is mostly associated with issues in the heart or metabolic problems with the body, an example would be dehydration along with a number of others.
