Is a fast heartbeat a symptom of heart disease?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Is a fast heartbeat a symptom of heart disease?

Doctor's answer:

Now, based solely on the patient's clinical manifestations, it is not possible to make a definitive diagnosis. The patient can first self-assess their heart rate. Generally, a normal heart rate is between 60 to 100 beats per minute. If the heart rate is too fast, it may be related to heart disease. It is necessary to go to the hospital's cardiology department for careful examinations such as an electrocardiogram. Based on the examination results, consult your attending physician's advice. Additionally, if you experience high stress during daily training and rest poorly, it may also lead to neuroregulatory issues.
