Good: This is an appropriate rate for a workout at your age.

Question 2

i25 year old female, not extremely active but have been working out for a month now..basic cardio 4 x a week. ive been monitoring my heart rate and ive noticed when sitting at my desk my hr drops to 48/49..is that a cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Yes, get eval: If your testing is correct, ( you may want to double check this) and heart rate really drops in high 40s, this  is definitely NOT normal. Call your doc for an eval and cardiac testing to determine why this is happening.  Good luck

Question 3

1. what is an acceptable recovery heart rate level five minutes after exercising?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Generally heart rate returns to the vicinity of the resting rate within 5 minutes unless the exercise was prolonged and high level.

Question 4

what is an acceptable recovery heart rate level five minutes after exercising? five minutes after exercising

Accepted Answer

Exercise: By 5 min post exercise the heart rate should be near or at baseline.

Question 5

im averaging a 100bpm heart rate.  im fairly active and 26 years of age.  should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Not really: 100bpm is not considered to be very high.
for a healthy athletic 26 years old male is expected to be lower than that
how high your heart rate goes when you exercise?
my advise is to see a cardiologist to check on your BP and your hydration status, and your blood level to r/o anemia, and you thyroid function, then determined that there is no underlying heart problem, assured your or treat you.

Question 6

i'm having heart surgery march 31 to slow my heart rate down and i may need a peace maker is that safe to have at my age 33 years old?

Accepted Answer

Heart rate: Pacemaker is not a big deal in general. You should discuss the details of your problem with your cardiologist and be sure you understand what is going on with you and what the issues are. You should also discuss the therapy and what it is expected to accomplish for you. Be sure you understand your problems and the approach to treating it.

Question 7

psychiatrist stopped my celexa 20mg about 12 days ago suddenly after 15 years. he started me on zoloft 40mg the next day. it was awful until day five i felt better but heart rate and bp began to increase 15-25  points syst previous control on meds?

Accepted Answer

Serotonin mishap?: A more gradual taper of the Celexa may have been easier to tolerate.  Shouldering one gradually down and the other up usually works better, i.e., Celexa down to 10, and more gradual increase/addition of Zoloft,  25 for 10 days then stop Celexa and increase Zoloft to 50.
After that many years and abrupt cessation you may be experiencing serotonin discontinuation from the Celexa - despite the Zoloft

Question 8

what happens if you go over your max heart rate while working out?  dangerous?

Accepted Answer

No: Really no! you would get exhausted before too long. If you do have a heart issue, though, then it may get acutely worse during strenuous exercise and that would also make you stop.

Question 9

what does it mean if your heart rate exceeds the recommended target while working out?

Accepted Answer

A few possible: Poor conditioning, exercise induced arrythmias are the most common.

Question 10

what should my target heart rate be while working out?

Accepted Answer

At your age ...: Approximately 2/3 of your maximal heart rate. See your pcp or sports medicine expert to calculate your aerobic 'target' heart rate... Best of luck!
