Continual Fast Heart Rate-what Could Cause It? Posted: 08-27-07 20:35pm
Hi, I'm a 20 year old female, I'd say I'm
quite fit and generally pretty healthy.
The only thing is I always have a fast
heart rate. My heart rate as measured by a
doctor was between 90-100 at resting. I
don't feel uncomfortable, or have
palpatations or breathlessness.Especially
when I'm in a hot shower, feeling relaxed
my heart rate seems to be very high...
When I excercise it goes a bit higher but
I don't puff and I recover very quickly.
Is this anything to worry about bc my
doctor said it's probably ok but gave me a
referral to a cardiologist if I want it :s
Also I have no history of heart problems
in my family on either side, and I know my
dad's heart was a little faster than
normal too.
