Question 1

does hyperglycemia increase or decrease your heart rate?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes: There is no direct correlation, however, prolonged hyperglycemia can lead to diabetic coma which inturn can effect your heart rate.

Question 2

how does hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia affect heart rate and blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

The rate of change: The rate of change of the blood sugar can affect the heart rate and blood pressure through the sympathetic nervous system output.

Question 3

could you tell me what are hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia's effects on heart rate and blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

Increasing : Hypoglymia will trigger a sympathetic response increasing hr and bp. During  hyperglycemia, if you are diabetic, the response will be lighter or none, depending in complications associated like hyperoamolar state and ketoacidosis, when the response will be stronger.

Question 4

does smoking marijuana increase or decrease heart rate?

Accepted Answer

Increases HR: Marijuana use increases heart rate by 20%-100%, shortly after smoking.  Marijuana users have 4.8 times greater chance of heart attack in the first hour after smoking.  It causes palpitations & arhythmias as well as elevation of actual heart rate.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11401936.

Question 5

my heart rate increases when i'm cold and decreases when i'm warm, which is apparently the opposite of what should happen. what's causing this?

Accepted Answer

Heart Rate: Shivering is a well-known response, but a less obvious reaction is heart rate increase. In cold weather, a faster heartbeat benefits muscular and respiratory function. That's why  your heart rate is increasing.

Question 6

14 fit, 55bpm. stand up heart rate goes up, after walking down the hall my heart rate will decrease to rest, if long activity rate increases and stays?

Accepted Answer

Heart rates: These rates may all be quite normal but to rule out significant or abnormal increases in heart rates or rhythm your heart would have to be monitored at rest and during various activities. This could be done with a treadmill stress test or wearing a holter monitor as an outpatient for 24 hours.

Question 7

i have an increase in arterial resistance coincides with a decreased heart rate, what can be the cause of this 'in vivo'?

Accepted Answer

Cushing's Reflex: There is a clinical entity called cushing's reflex where this physiology comes into play. This happens when there is a bleed in the brain. This leads to increased arterial resistance in the brain, and through a series of complex feedback loops in the adrenergic system, leads to reflexive bradycardia.

Question 8

when lying down to sleep i have a burst of increased heart rate (about 7 heart beats) followed by a sudden decrease in hr and continues increasing and?

Accepted Answer

Elevated heart rate: There is always  minute to minute variation in heart rate. 7 beats is not a lot.  Usually we are concerned if . 20-30 . Position  movement , emotional stress can affect hear rate. Is it associated with symptoms  short of  breathe? dizziness?  Would not worry . But  discuss with  you doctor, urgent care .if very concerned can get holter which will monitor heart rate over 24 hours.

Question 9

can you please list the common causes of hypertension, increase heart rate and decrease oxygen?

Accepted Answer

Cause of HBP: My first guess is the person has been a smoker which increase risk of HBP.  Every cigarette increase BP for at least 30 min.  So if you smoke a pack a day (20 cigs) that is 10 hours a day and this may be the cause of your HBP. Check in AM before 1st cig.  If you smoke. Discuss with your team.

Question 10

when i stand up, my blood pressure decreases but my heart rate increases. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Dehydration: If you are dehydrated, the volume of blood in your blood vessels is decreased. Therefore when you stand up there is not enough blood to sustain your blood pressure. The heart tries to compensate for the low blood volume by beating faster. If you are continuing to have diarrhea, you must increase your fluid intake and mineral/electrolyte by drinking a sports typpe drink.
