If running causes an excessively high heart rate, you should immediately stop running and rest in place. Avoid mental tension and excessive psychological stress, and take deep breaths to see whether symptoms improve. If symptoms persist or worsen, do not underestimate the situation—promptly seek evaluation at the cardiology department of the nearest reputable public Grade-A tertiary hospital. A definitive diagnosis must be established, the underlying cause identified, and appropriate management and treatment initiated by a specialist based on the actual clinical condition and etiology, to prevent disease progression.
