A member asked:
My doctor told me i have a very benign and common heart rhythm problem called sinus tachycardia , what does this mean and do i need medication ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sinus tachycardia occurs when the natural pacemaker goes fast. It is normal for this to occur with pain, anxiety or exertion. It is a natural compensatory mechanism of your body and does not require treatment.
