Tachycardia describes a rapid heart beat, i.e. greater than 100 beats per minute. It can be a normal reaction to exertion or caused by heart disease. With paroxysmal tachycardia, the onset and end of an attack is sudden and can last from minutes to several days. It can be a relatively benign condition, however investigations must be carried out to ensure there is no underlying heart disease. Attacks can be provoked by emotional stress, anxiety or excessive use of alcohol or caffeine. Attacks are generally controlled by drug therapy.
