Heartbeat extremely fast when angry?

Question

I am not sure if this is quite normal. Sometimes when I get quite angry, my heart beats fast and then after the situation, I tend to think about it and then I am short of breath. Of course, unknowingly, I am able to capture my breath all over again and become fine. If not I won't be typing this stuff out.

I am just wondering if the above was alright. I mean is this normal or am I suffering from some heart-related disease.

As for the case on how angry I was, actually, I do not think I am really very angry. Just agitated and then something like that happens.

After taking deep breaths, things seem to work well for me. Heart beat slows down and the breathlessness level drops.

Answer 1

Best thing is "not to get too angry".

The next best thing is "to consult your doctor " specially if you think that the heart rate has recently increased disproportionately to your anger.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Heart rate variability, HRV, is the natural rise and fall of your heart rate in response to your breathing, blood pressure, hormones, stress and emotions (angry). It is age and gender sensitive, meaning that the older we get the less variability we have.
In a healthy individual, heart rate should increase as you inhale and decrease as you exhale. The greater the heart rate variability, the healthier the heart and the nervous system that provides its feedback loop with the brain. Even more critical, HRV is reflective and predictive of general health and overall psycho-physiological (mind-body) wellness.
The easiest way to improve HRV, and thus stress resilience, is through a simple breathing exercise that strengthens the dynamic function of the Autonomic Nervous System, ANS and helps return the system to balance.
So, after you get angry and your heart races, take some deep breaths and relax, your heart rate should return to normal soon. If this happens, you are perfectly normal, maybe even better than normal.

Answer 3

elevated heart rate is normal when under duress like anger, fear, etc, etc. Your adrenaline is pumping which in turn is making your heart pump faster. If you have any serious concern or risk factors like family history of heart disease, stroke, sudden death, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, you might want to consult your physician to stay on the safe side.

IT IS normal for this to happen when under those stressors, but how often do you get upset to this point? Ask yourself if you might have an anger management issue? All of this is speculation as we have never met, just want to be thorough and accurate in answering for you. Hope it helps and good luck.
