this is something you really need to discuss with a doctor .. there are many circumstances around this .. and you do not want to take advice about something this serious.. \n\nMy daughter had heart surgery, and they were worried about her heart rate as it gets slow at rest .. but because it speeds back up to normal when she moves they say it is okay.. \n\nyes an EKG can be inconclusive.. it is possible the nodes were misplaced ect.. you should have 2-3 done to check for sure.. but you need to see a doctor.. as this is such a serious matter.. any advice given here will pretain your specific issue.

It's called orthostats, try this...  Lie down and relax for about 10 minutes and then take your pulse.  Slowly stand up and then after a minute take your pulse again.  If there is a huge difference, say more than 20 beats, you're probably dehydrated...

is the person breathing and does he or she have a heart beat?  If the answer is no then call 911 right now! Then immediately begin CPR.

i have delt with thousands of patients with a slow heart rate(bradycardia) and it most cases it causes no inconvenience to the person life style or health,, there is simple medication available that will encourage the heart to pump at a normal rate..\na pace maker is a last resort for most patients and usually for the over forties..\nhaving said that a lot depends on what is causing the problem and how slow is the heartbeat.... a heart beat of 60-80 pm is normal for a adult at rest but some athletic people have a heart rate of 40 bpm at rest\nthe heart is a complex organ and has many safety features built into it,, the initial beat comes from the s.a node at the top of the right atrium and sends a signal via the punjibe fibres to encourage the ventricles (lower heart chambers)to contract and pump the blood through the body,, however if the sa. node fails for any reason the heart can fire of the signal to beat at two lower locations and get the same result,, poss this is where your friends missing beat comes into play,, im sure her doctor will do what is required and you try not to worry about your friend im sure she will be fine  ... keep smiling

actually the answer above is wrong.. As you get older your heart rate will usually decrease, as it's taking more work to pump, if it is increasing then usually the pt is in A Fib, which is an irregular heart beat that can cause an MI.. kinda like its got a short in the wire.. As you get older your heart rate will be affected, excercise and proper diet become much more important.

You may have PSVT which is a fast heart rate. It is very annoying and is scary when you feel it. It is treatable though. Do you drink /eat a lot of caffiene? (Cokes, tea coffee, chocolate?) Ask your doctor to put a Holter Monitor on you and see if anything shows up there. It is a 24 hour monitor you wear and it monitors your heart.  Good luck!

Are you exhibiting the classic symptoms of angina with shortness of breath, heavy sweating, jaw pain or down the arm?  I would be very skeptical about taking these medications for someone your age.  I suggest seeing a Cardiologist, please have your doctor refer you to one!    It is normal for a teen to have a heart rate of 90 bpm.  This really does sound more like heart burn or acid reflux.  Try over the counter medications like Pepcid or Zantac and see if these help.  Check with the pharmacist though for interactions with the other meds you are taking!  Good Luck!

Yes and it was the scariest thing ever!  My heart started beating faster and faster and faster.  All color drained from my face.  I honestly thought I was going to die!  It stopped on its own but scared the heck out of everyone around me.  I went and had an EKG, everything was normal.

35-45 beats per minute.

Question: As a child did you ever run a really high temp? My brother ran a sudden high fever(cause never found, of 105 and soaring)that nearly killed him. He was wrapped in towels and buried in a tub of ice to bring the fever down. But while waiting on the ice to be brought he was bathed from head to toe in rubbing alchol. At that time the doctor did the only things he knew to do. The fever came down but my brothers normal temp of 98.6 was changed to 96.0. So a temp of 99.0 is not low grade fever anymore; at least not for him.  Are you under great amounts of stress? Stress can do wild things to your body. Under tremendos stress  the muscles literally separated from the bones in my chest area. Doctor's at first thought it was a heart attack but my pulse did not indicate such to be the case. I felt as if a huge weight had been droped on my chest, but it was stress. Vicatin would not even allow my body any relief, and the doctors had said if it didn't help that morphine was the next step.Fianlly, after several months of just letting nature run its course; I finally stopped hollering with every breath. I would shake like I was in a ice house on min. and feel normal the next; but my temp. was up and down like a yoyo. Do you have any other symptoms, coughing, sneezing,dizzy spells, black outs, nausea? Have you been to a doctor yet? If not; I strongly reccommend you go see one immediately. Keep in mind not all diseases or illness's cause the same reaction in a person. You can take 50 people with the flu. Some it turns into more upper respitory infections, and some of those can be fatal. Others just feel crappy and tired. While some can't see much difference in the flu and what most people would call a bad cold. My temp. runs 98.6; 99.0 is low grade, and any thing more than 102.6 I start calling the doctor. As I said I strongly reccomend you go straight to a doctor and have them check you out. I wish you well.

I think that the blacking out and heart speeding/slowing are definetly anxiety attacks/panic (to some degree) attacks. \nAll of the things you just decribed can be attributed to stress, whether it is just a persistent small amount you deal with daily or a huge amount that was just dropped on you. \nEither way, you may want to see a doctor as that would be the quickest and easiest solution.\nIf you want to try some home remedies first, try taking a day off from doing anything. Stay at home and take a warm shower, sleep late, do yoga, take a walk.\nIf the weather is nice and not that cold by you yet, you could try doing a jog in the morning before going where you need to go. Excersize helps release stress and you'd be surprised how much a habitual 10 minute walk can help you.

i am taking one tomorrow.  they hook you up.  make you walk, then gradually increase speed on a treadmill.  if your heart rate gets to a certain poinit it stops.  if your heart shows any signs of weakening it stops.

Not unless your on digoxin. The average heart rate is 72 beats per minute. Now not everyone will be 72bpm but at \n37 your heart rate should be a little closer to normal. See a doctor and see what he says.

Yes, respiration does have an affect on heart rhythm. Breathing in is an active process - muscles are contracting and your chest is expanding. Most of the time when you exhale (not exercising or being active), your muscles relax so your heart rate slows.  \n\nIf it bothers you, you might want to get it checked out.

poor circulation. Start exercising and get that blood pumping also I suggest bananas for potassium.
