i have a high resting heart rate, which i have checked and is between 80 and 100. The thing is i am an athletic male, that weighs around 160 pounds, and has a body fat percentage around 4-8 %. I need to know if i have something wrong with my heart, or if i need to see someone medically trained. I have talked to people about this, and no one is quite sure what it is. the last time i checked my blood pressure it was 120 over 70. I no that a good heart rate should be between 60 and 80, but i am an athlete who is constantly active and in shape. Please help thank you.
Is my resting heart rate dangerous?Heartrate between 80-100 is not dangerous. but better check your system for the cause of the fast heartbeat, like ecg, thyroid function etc.
Is my resting heart rate dangerous?There can be all sorts of secondary reasons for a relatively rapid heart rate..including worry...which I get the impression is something you might be pretty good at.
A HR of 80 to 100 is not inherently dangerous. (normal is considered b/n 60 and 100 bpm) It is not what you would expect for a well-conditioned athlete either. Discuss the matter with your primary doctor who can do the initial investigation. (anemia, a heart defect, thyroid, stimulant use, amongst others could all be at play) You might benefit from a device called a Holter monitor which monitors you heart rate 24 hours and creates a summary (How fast is fast? For how long? Does the rate ever get slow? etc.) This information is helpful if it is deemed necessary to treat. Blood tests and an echocardiogram may also be of use.
