A member asked:
Hello i have sinus tachycardia due to anxiety. is it harmful or will it cause weakness or damage to heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not harmful: Sinus tachycardia due to anxiety by itself is not necessarily harmful or will damage your heart. This is also assuming you are going into 100- 120 range every now and then. Persistently elevated heart rate even if sinus in nature needs to be evaluated further as there may be other conditions contributing to fast heart rate like thyroid related disorders or other hormone/chemical mediated disorder
