Question 1

with c.o.p.d. is it dangerous for heart rate to get to 153?

Accepted Answer

153: If this is a HR without exercise then I would be concerned. I would discuss this with your provider and get an EKG

Question 2

what is considered a dangerous heart rate?

Accepted Answer

Heart rate: Normally heart rate responds to exercise or physiologic demand levels. Usually we don't see it go over 180-200 even with high levels of exercise. This level while tolerated by 'normals' may be dangerous in patients with heart disease or other forms of disease. In other words, one number doesn't fit all.

Question 3

my heart rate is at 116, is it dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Heart rate: Heart rate of 116 if at rest is faster than normal. It is not dangerous in and of itself. What is important is why it should be elevated at rest and there are many possibilities for this.

Question 5

what is a dangerous heart rate for a 51 year old female at rest?

Accepted Answer

Resting HR: HR is usually between 60-90, 72 is best. we usually don't worry till &lt; 45 or  40( may not perfuse enough)  , as athletes may have HR in 50's,  or higher than 100 ( 120-130 is really more worrisome(beating  to fast to perfuse), 100 just tells us to  evaluate why high) . Hypo/hyperthoridism affect HR, medications ( caffeine/alcohol/),POTS, cardiac issues, rare conditions like carcinoid/ f/u/ w/ doc,

Question 6

when does an elevated heart rate become dangerous? how high or long?

Accepted Answer

High heart rate: Mostly it depends on symptoms associated with the heart rate, so if the rate is 120 beats per minute and the patient has shortness of breath or chest pain associated with it, then it is too high.  However, if you are active and exercise regularly then your heart can tolerate a higher heart rate for a longer period of time.

Question 7

is it dangerous if i feel my baby's heart rate goes up a lot when he cries?

Accepted Answer

No: It is very normal for your baby's heart rate to elevate when he is fussy. As long as his color appears to be normal (i.e. Lips remain pink in color, never dusky, blue or purple), your baby is having good circulation. Once your baby calms down, the heart rate should go back down to it's normal pace.

Question 8

can you exercise so hard that you go over your max heart rate? if so, is it 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

my heart rate has been around 43 resting for a few days. when does it become dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Bradycardia: Bradycardia is slow heart rate, typically defined as less than 60 beats per minute. 43bpm is pretty darn low but highly trained endurance athletes are known to have extremely low heart rates, especially "younger" ones. Slow heart rate becomes a concern when you complain of feeling dizzy, lightheaded, faint etc. Some medications can cause slow heart rate. Check w/your family doc to be sure.
