6 Common Symptoms of Tachycardia

Bounding Pulse

A bounding pulse is a strong throbbing [9] in your arteries that is observable when you take your pulse. It typically feels as if blood is charging through your blood vessels. It is caused by forceful heartbeats which doctors may refer to as heart palpitations.

Sometimes bounding pulse may be a sign you have tachycardia. In most cases, the precise cause of this rapid, forceful pulse is never found [10]. It may be due to mild conditions, such as anxiety and stress, or life-threatening conditions like heart failure.

Conclusion

Tachycardia refers to rapid, irregular heartbeats above 100 per minute. It is possible to have tachycardia and not show symptoms, but the condition can lead to life-threatening conditions like stroke and heart failure. Although not all tachycardia will result in serious complications, it is important to see a doctor for evaluation.
