Hello
i am a bit sad since my boyfriend was diagnosed with tachycardia few months ago, i just wonder...is it possible to live a normal life and a long one after the treatment? he is under medication now but i wonder for how long, he is living abroad now and i don't have to much contact with him recently, i just hope things get better.
thanks .
Do you have any more information about his diagnosis? What kind of tachycardia does he have? And what treatments do they have him on? How old is he?
Most tachycardias are basically harmless, especially in a healthy young person, and yes he certainly can live a long life. And many tachycardias can be cured with a simple, minimally invasive surgical procedure, or controlled with medications.

My boyfriend is young...34 years old...and since he was little he did a lot of sports, his tachycardia is in the borderline, not terribly serious but still...he has 120-30 bits when he is resting on the sofa, his medication i don't know the name yet but i will find out.
Thanks for the good news
Heart rate over 100 is considered tachycardia. Someone young and healthy and well conditioned from sport's activity should have a HR in the sixties or less (at rest).
Unless the condition is ideopathic there should be an underlying problem as the system is demanding more blood/oxygen at a time when the heart should rest. If the heart continues with a fast beat (not unlike any other muscle), the size will increase from the activity and that could lead to very serious consequences. Also a very very fast beat in an effort to supply more blood/orygen will not provide enough time for the heart chamber to fill and that would exacerbate the problem and there will decompensation.
Treating the symptom/sign with medication will almost always prevent the above cited conditions, but if possible the underlying cause should be identified and treated.
