What is the treatment for sinus tachycardia? Your healthcare provider will focus on treating the cause of your sinus tachycardia. If stress or strenuous exercise was the cause, stopping them can solve the problem.
Sinus tachycardia is a rhythm in which the rate of impulses arising from the sinoatrial (SA) node is elevated. Sinus tachycardia is most often a normal and physiologic response, for example during exercise. However, sinus tachycardia can in some instances be inappropriate or pathologic.
The goals of tachycardia treatment are to slow a rapid heartbeat and to prevent future episodes of a fast heart rate. If another health condition is causing tachycardia, treating the underlying problem may reduce or prevent episodes of a fast heartbeat.

Occasional sinus tachycardia from exercise and other factors that cause short-term increases in your heart rate generally don’t require treatment. However, a doctor may consider treatment...
Treatment. Your health care professional should consider and treat the cause of your sinus tachycardia, rather than just treating the condition. Simply slowing the heart rate could cause more harm if your rapid heartbeat is a symptom of a more serious or long-term problem. Ventricular Tachycardia
We consider an initial and subsequent in-depth evaluation of ST to help formulate management strategies with interventions that may improve outcomes based on available evidence.
Treatments for sinus tachycardia vary depending on the underlying cause but usually involve a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, and, in very rare instances, surgery.

Sinus tachycardia is a type of irregular heartbeat that is characterized by a faster than normal heart rhythm. Your heart’s sinus node generates electrical impulses that travel through the heart muscle, causing it to beat. A normal sinus rhythm has a heart rate of between 60 and 100 beats/minute.
