Question

Is it normal for a 71-year-old female with late-stage cancer, who is lying in bed, to have a heart rate of about 120 bpm?

Answer

The heart rate of about 120 bpm is relatively higher than the normal standard, and it should be considered that it may be affected by cancer-related fever, cardiovascular regulatory dysfunction, or individual stress factors. At present, it is necessary to clarify the specific accompanying conditions and actively carry out symptomatic treatment. The general treatment for cancer should consider surgery and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and can also be supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine to regulate. Traditional Chinese medicine for cancer can alleviate the symptoms and pain of patients.
