What Are the Causes of a High Pulse Rate and How Can Ayurveda Help? - #16368

I’ve been experiencing a high pulse rate for a few weeks now, and I’m getting quite concerned. It started a few months ago after I began working longer hours, and now it seems like my heart is racing for no reason, even when I’m just sitting or trying to sleep. My pulse rate often feels like it’s over 100 beats per minute, and sometimes I can feel it in my chest or neck. I’ve tried to calm myself down by resting, but the high pulse rate still lingers, and sometimes I feel light-headed. I’ve been trying to figure out high pulse rate causes and what could be going on with my body. I don’t have any known heart problems, but my doctor did say that my elevated pulse rate could be due to anxiety and stress, as I’ve been dealing with a lot at work lately. However, I’m not fully convinced, and I feel like there might be other factors involved. One thing I’ve read is that high pulse rate causes can be linked to lifestyle habits, like not getting enough sleep or eating poorly, which makes sense because I haven’t been sleeping well and I’ve been eating a lot of processed foods. I’m not sure if those are the main reasons, though, because I’m relatively young and fairly active. Could high pulse rate causes be linked to other factors, like hormonal imbalances or Ayurvedic dosha imbalances? I’ve also heard that dehydration can sometimes cause a high pulse rate, and I do drink a lot of coffee throughout the day, so maybe that’s contributing. But I still don’t understand why my pulse keeps racing even after I try to relax. I’m also wondering if my lifestyle is playing a bigger role than I realize. I don’t always eat the healthiest foods, and I have been under more stress than usual. Could high pulse rate causes like these be treated with Ayurvedic methods? I’ve heard that certain herbs and practices can help lower pulse rate, but I’m not sure which ones might be right for me. I’ve also noticed that I’ve been having trouble sleeping because of my racing heart, which makes me feel even more tired and irritable during the day. Is there a connection between sleep issues and a high pulse rate? How can Ayurveda help balance my body’s energy and address these high pulse rate causes in a natural way? What types of Ayurvedic remedies or practices do you suggest for someone dealing with this? Should I focus on managing stress, improving my diet, or both? I would really appreciate any insights into what might be causing my high pulse rate and how Ayurveda could support my health during this time.
