if your heart rate is 130-140, what could happen?

That's tachycardia.  It's too fast.  Go see a doctor.  Does it occur after you do intense exercise or does it occur out of nowhere?  Is it a common thing for you?  If you have atrial fibrillation, you could throw a clot to your brain and get a stroke.  Find out the reason you have the fast heart rate.  This is no joke.  Go see a physician.\n\nNormal heart rate should be 60-100 for an adult.

work out 3 days a week keep your heart rate elevated for 20+ minutes. Eat a sensible diet and you should be fine.

1. You put stress on your heart by raising your blood pressure,\n2. You do not know your limits immediately afterwards,\n3. You are worried about death and you are not going to have fun anyway.

Don't worry then.  You'll keel over of a heart attack soon from overwork and stress.

The normal resting heart rate is 60 to 80 beats per minute for adults. Some very fit individuals have lower resting heart rates. Your heart rate goes up when you exercise. Your target heart (the level you want to sustain during aerobic exercise) varies depending on fitness level and age.

Depends on the age and health of the person!\nResting heart beat for adults is around 60 bpm, which will probably decrease as they get older.

150 is a good round number to go with.  Anything over 120 is considered high but your never no if you are level or moving up or down.  If you recently ate a meal and took insulin give it a chance to kick in and check again in 20 mins to see where you are headed up or down.

130/90 is near the upper limit of what was once considered normal blood pressure.  Current thinking is that lower than this is better (120/80).  According to a 2003 report by the National Institutes of Health your b.p. level of 130/90 would be considered "prehypertensive" and requires health-promoting lifestyle modifications (not drugs).  \nEat whole/fresh foods, avoid processed foods, lose weight if necessary, exercise daily, avoid smoking, and limit or avoid alcohol.  Low levels of dietary calcium, potassium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids (e.g. fish oils) in the diet may contribute to elevated blood pressure, so it may be helpful to supplement your diet with them.  \nIf these approaches do not lower your b.p., then it may be wise to seek professional guidance.\nGood luck!

120/80  is quoted as the 'normal' BP but there is more a healthy range (which changes according to the latest trend). \n\nWhen u do excercise ur BP rises because your heart is trying to get more blood to you tissues and also trying to get rid of the heat produced (it's why u go all red). But over time your resting blood pressure does decrease. But this might be a combination of losing weight and becoming fitter (which leads to a lower heart rate). \n\nSo the answer is really yes it does, while your doing the exercise and a bit after.

Normal rate for your age would be from 60-100.  What were you doing when you checked your pulse?  Is that after physical exertion or is your resting pulse?  Are you on any medications?  There are many factors that could affect your pulse rate but always check with your doctor if you're concerned, whether you fall in the normal range or not.

I have seen this make a person's heart rate drop close to a fatal ending at where I work.. Please stop taking it and tell your doctor and demand something else in its place..

The latest findings suggest that normal blood pressure for anyone should be less than 140/90.  Any blood pressure that stays higher than that for a prolonged period can cause problems that can lead to heart disease and stroke.  Many people have fluctuations in their B/P that cause it to be higher or lower at times depending on activites, but a consistantly high B/P should be treated medically before problems arise.

My opinion: Yes.  That's the best answer for this.  Find a cardiologist or have your primary doctor find one for you.  Either way, get one ASAP.  You need to find out WHY it's so high, because 155 is too high.\n\nWebMD says: "A normal heart rate for a healthy adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Heart rates of more than 100 beats per minute (tachycardia) can be caused by:\n\nExercise or stress. This fast heart rate usually returns to normal range (60 to 100 beats per minute) with rest and relaxation.\nIllnesses that cause fever. When the cause of the fever goes away, the heart rate usually returns to normal.\nDehydration. When the dehydration is treated, the heart rate usually returns to normal.\nMedication side effects, especially asthma medications.\nHeavy smoking, alcohol, or too much caffeine or other stimulants, such as diet pills. Stopping the use of tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, or other stimulants may help your heart rate return to normal. \nCocaine, amphetamines, and methamphetamines.\nBabies and children younger than 2 years old have higher heart rates because their body metabolism is faster. Heart rates decrease as children grow, and usually by the teen years the heart rate is in the same range as an adult's.\n\nA new fast heart rate may be caused by a more serious health problem. Heart disease or other medical conditions may sometimes cause a fast heart rate. A fast heart rate may cause palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of fast heartbeat. It causes the heart's upper chambers to beat irregularly, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and to the rest of the body. Atrial fibrillation increases your chance of having a stroke or a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).\n\nIf you have heart disease, heart failure, or have had a heart attack, it is especially important to understand how serious a fast heart rate can be. This is especially true if it occurs with shortness of breath when you are resting or after mild exertion. Call your health professional if you have a sudden change in your usual heart rate or rhythm."
