High Pulse Rate

[rubyroselee]

I think it's pretty common. Most likely causes are medication side effects, decreased O2 in the bloodstream, and dehydration. Meds that are bronchodilators tend to have a side effect of increased heart rate. Also, when you're lungs don't work as well, your heart rate compensates by pumping blood faster. And when you're dehydrated, you tend to have a higher heart rate as well due to there being less fluid in the body.

<br />My heart rate always runs about 100. I always get comments from medical professionals that it's high, but I always run that high so I just tell them it's normal for me.

Mine always runs high too- usually 100+. I have to admit, I find this thread a bit reassuring. Clinic has never seemed concerned, and I never think to ask <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> , but I have wondered.
