reasons for high pulse rate?

Alright Julie!!  Great answer....!  Although I laughed at the "are you mad" part, the truth is this is for real.  Emotions can play a large part in our pulse rate.  The person with a Type A personality...kinda tense in personality, probably with a job that is tense also, but which this person thrives.....I would like to ask how much caffine you drink?  Are you eating nutritional foods, exercising, do you smoke?  Lots of reasons for increased heart rates...lifestyle can be the biggie!

These things may or may not be related. However more information is required to determin what is going on. Some common things could be, stress, heart burn, hypothyordism.. but i sugest you start by seeing your doctor.

Probably your blood pressure would be high.  However, if you are in doubt, have a doctor check it out.

Has to do with oxygen demand.  During exercise your heart rate goes up because oxygen is being used much faster.  The faster pulse gets blood and oxygen to tissues faster.\n\nWhen you stop exercising, there is less demand for oxygen so the heart rate goes back down.  If it stayed high, it would cause high blood pressure and damage the vessels.

the pulse goes faster when you run because more muscles are being used.  another is that you need to go faster, therefore you need more energy.  our muscles need more oxygen to work faster and longer.  that's why the blood pumps more blood to get to the muscles in your leg.  another, they need to pump harder because you need the energy immediately.  the pulse goes faster because the heart needs to pump blood faster to reach your muscles and harder to reach it faster.

Was this a "self test" or one supervised by a doctor or cardiologist?  If it's a self test I would advise you to see a doctor before getting on a treadmill again.  In fact, see a doctor anyway.  That's a very high blood pressure.  An increase in diastolic blood pressure of more than 10 mmHg (optimal is <120) during or after exercise represents an unstable form of hypertension, and may be associated with coronary artery disease.  At 236 you could be classified as well above third stage hypertension.  Really, see a doctor.

I have heart disease and my heart used to beat really fast, almost like I had a double heart beat (it's called a "flutter").  I would ask your doctor about it and see if they can send you to a heart specialist.  Heart disease can be a major problem if it's not treated right away.  \n\nYou might have arrythmia or tachycardia or it could be a panic attack, those aren't any fun either.  I would talk to your doctor.  He would know for sure.

i would assume it means that your heart rate is slighty faster than the average???

Having the sensation of "skipped" or "extra" heart beats is quite common. To start, check your pulse for a full minute either at your wrist or neck. Usually you can tell if your heart rate is regular or if there are extra beats suddenly appearing. Sometimes it is a good idea for someone else to check for you as well (ie a "second opinion").\n\nHaving occasional "premature atrial contractions" is also quite common - these will give the sensation of either an extra beat or a skipped beat. \n\nIf these sensations continue or are impeding your daily functioning it is probably a good idea to go see your physician as an abnormal heart rhythm can be very serious.

if you feel in danger or nervous than your body prepares you to run...this means your heart rate will increase ready to keep a good supply of oxygen to your muscles. this is normal, although you don't want it to happen to much as it can cause problems...if your worried at all than go and see a doctor.

Increased blood flow...?

You might be working out above your ideal heart rate. Get a monitor and figure out what your ideal one should be and try to stay around that.

The heart beats very fast.\nThere can be other factors - 'allergic' reactions where the body has just had too much of a drug.

You probably have PVCs/PACs, I've had them for a few years and I hate those @@#$@ so much. They feel like an extra beat, flip flop, or fast double beat right? I think its recommended that you be evaluated by a cardiologist to make sure you dont have any heart defects. The vast majority of cases though either just happen for no apparent reason, anxiety/stress related, potassium/calcium/magnesium imbalance in your blood, or a thyroid problem like they were saying. My doc theyre probably anxiety related too and I didn't think I'm anxious either. A lot of people say beta blockers work for them as well and my doc put me on one but it didn't do anything for me. Never tried an antidepressant/anxiety drug but some people say those have helped them, so go for it if you want. Mine seem to be triggered when I'm under stress, drink, dont get enough sleep, or drink too much caffeine. Exercise seems to reduce them for me, but everyone's triggers are different. You can check out the heart forum at medhelp.org a lot of people have them and have all kinds of weird tips and tricks you can try. I think the best thing to do if they really bother you is keep track of what triggers them and then avoid those triggers if practical.
