High Pulse Rate

[mamerth]

Does anyone else have a fast pulse rate. I just got home from the ER (for different issue) and while I was there they discovered I was having a fast pulse. They struggled to get my pulse down to normal. I had to get it down to 100 before they would let me go home.

Is this normal with CFers or am dealing with a new issue??? GREAT!!!

I am surprised they wanted it below 100. I would never get to go home if that was the case. I normally run about 115-120. If I just did an albuterol treatment, am coughing or something forget it.. I am in the 150's.

In all my time of working in the ER, I never held a patient for a pulse rate unless it was really, really high.

Hope your issues resolve

Mine is always high probably between 120-140 and I've wondered about it before but my docs have never mentioned it so I'm assuming they're not too worried. It could be because our oxygen levels are lower than normal the heart beats faster to circulate oxygen rich blood to the rest of the body.

There are many reasons why your heart rate might be higher than normal. One is dehydration, mine is much higher whenever I am dehydrated...my resting is fairly high to begin with, around 100 to 110, it doesn't take much to make my pulse jump but being dry does not help. Two is infection, whenever I have an infection, my heart rate jumps very high and my SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) acts up nearly every time, my heart rate has been sustained in the 165-170's range at times. Very uncomfortable.
I also am thinking perhaps your thyroid medication could be too high. Too much synthroid will cause your heart rate to go higher than normal as well. Our CF meds tend to cause a high heart rate as well, especially the albuterol treatments. Low O2 levels will also cause your heart to work harder, thus increasing your pulse.
As you can see, there are many reasons why your heart rate could be sitting in the 120's range. I hope you feel better and that your heart behaves itself, you sure don't need another health issue to contend with..CF is complicated enough!
Hugs, Jenn

My heart rate tends to run high as well.

I run around 115 at rest. And around 100 when really laying down. My team knows about that and they say it is quite normal with lung issues. Your body just has to work a little harder.
When doing something I jump to 140-150 quickly

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.

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.
