I am new to the forum and I don't know if
this topic belongs under "heart disease",
so please don't flame me.
Anyways, I am a 17 year old highschool
student living in Canada (for 9 years, 8
years in China previously). Today, in
biology class, I did a lab regarding the
change of heart rates. When it was my
turn, it came to my surprise that the EKG
monitor gave me a very abnormal result
compared to my peers.
At first, I thought the pad things were
oxidized, but after going through many
different pairs and restarting the
program, I still yielded almost identical
heart rate results. My teacher checked the
setup and could not give me an answer.
Here is a screen shot that I captured from
logger-pro. Note: all these are resting
rates
I like to believe that I have a very
balanced diet, exercise and stress levels.
I did cross country and basketball for
this school year and I am doing track
& field training (not competitively)
right now. I am active a lot and I am not
a picky eater.
Thanks for reading this, I hope someone
can give me a shoutout on what I should
do? (seek a local professional?) or is
this normal?
I don't see a big problem with your heart
rate. According to your ECG-report and my
calculations your heart rate is about 90
per minute and your partner's heart rate
is about 80 per minute. Normal heart rate
when resting is usually 60-80 per minute.
This means that you have a very slight
tachycardia. As I can notice from your ECG
report you have sinus rhythm (P-wave
present) which means you have sinus-type
of tachycardia which is the most benign
type of tachycardia.
You can make another (more precise) ECG
report at your GP office.
