Why does a heart rate of 90 accompanied by an uncomfortable throat feel occur when test results are normal?
Disease description:
My usual heart rate is around 76-80 beats per minute, but for the past two days, my heart rate has risen to 90 without any apparent reason, accompanied by discomfort in my throat. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and all the test results showed normal. I would like to ask the doctor, what could be the cause of this?

Dr. Tian Hongbo
Heart rate is 90 beats per minute, which falls within the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute, indicating no significant abnormalities. Possible causes of throat discomfort include:
1. Upper respiratory tract infection: Throat discomfort might be due to infections of the upper respiratory tract, such as the common cold or pharyngitis. In such cases, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, avoid irritating foods, and ensure adequate rest.
2. Other factors: Apart from infections, throat discomfort could also be related to allergies, acid reflux, long-term smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, overuse of the voice, improper diet, or dry environmental conditions. It is advisable to avoid these contributing factors to alleviate throat discomfort.
You may consider keeping a detailed record of the timing, frequency, and potential triggers of your symptoms and consult a doctor. Further diagnostic tests, such as a 24-hour Holter monitor and laryngoscopy, may also be recommended.
