Why heart rate increases

Heart rate spikes today are usually connected to modern lifestyle habits such as stressunhealthy eating, and the use of stimulants. These factors can lead to short-term or ongoing increases in heart rate, which might show signs of more serious health problems.


Here’s a look at the most common causes of elevated heart rates in today’s world:

Stress and Anxiety
Constant stress triggers the body’s “fight or flight” responsereleasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that speed up the heart rate.


Anxiety and panic attacks can feel similar to heart problemscausing sensations like a racing heart or irregular beats.


Stimulants and Substances
Caffeine, found in coffeeenergy drinks, and soda, can make the heart beat faster by stimulating both the heart and the nervous system.


Smoking and drinking alcohol can also increase heart rateespecially when done often or in high amounts.


Some medicinessuch as decongestantsasthma sprays, and certain antidepressants, can raise heart rate as a side effect.


Poor Nutrition and Deficiencies
Eating a diet that lacks magnesiumpotassium, or B vitamins can affect how the heart works and its rhythm.


Consuming too many processed foods and sugary items can cause inflammation and put extra strain on the heart and blood vessels.


Lack of Sleep and Sedentary Lifestyle
Not getting enough sleep messes up the body’s balance of hormones and raises stress levels, which can lead to a faster heart rate.


lifestyle that involves little to no physical activity can weaken the heart’s ability to function efficientlycausing it to work harder even when resting.


Underlying Health Conditions
Issues like an overactive thyroidlow red blood cell count, or fever can result in a higher heart rate.


Heart conditions such as irregular heartbeats or fast heart rates may be made worse by lifestyle factors.


Overtraining or Intense Exercise
Although exercise naturally raises the heart ratedoing too much without enough rest can lead to a constant increase in heart rate and cause tiredness.
