Question 1

measured 6 weeks 2 weeks ago still 6 weeks with heart rate will i miscarry?

Accepted Answer

FHT's are present: As long as the Fetal Heart Tones are present, the pregnancy is still viable and miscarriage cannot be predicted.

Question 2

im a server at a resturant and i have been off work for over an hour now is it normal for my heart rate to still be 130?

Accepted Answer

No: Assuming you are resting and not exercising during your break, that is not normal. You should see a doctor as soon as possible for a full evaluation. It may be partly stress or anxiety but cardiac causes needed to be examined too.

Question 3

for a week my 2 yo son has had a 1.5-2 degree drop in rectal temp & a 20 beat drop in heart rate. both still in normal range, no other symp. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

See below: Fever causes an increase in the heart rate, breathing rate and blood circulation to the skin. This is how the body tries to reduce the heat caused by fever. As the temperature decreases-we expect the heart rate to decrease.

Question 4

my body is deconditioned, i want to exercise. i'm on anxiety & dep. meds. my heart rate is high w/basic things (100-105 usually. should i exercise still?

Accepted Answer

As tolerated: Gradually increasing exercise will help your stamina as well as anxiety. I see that you are only taking benzos. Talk to your doctor  about using some ssri if appropriate for you. That will give youore energy. Mind it that bezoa are for short term use only.

Question 5

if i can lower my heart rate by 12 bpm within 10 minutes, can i still be considered tachycardic?

Accepted Answer

Not sure of question: Tachycardia is defined as a rapid heart rate often defined greater than 100 bpm. Most of the time this is benign and can be a result of fear, tension, exercise, etc. It can be a sign of serious issues as well. Lowering  your heart rate by 12 BPM doesn't really tell me what your resting heart rate is. Also how do you lower it. Talk with your doctor - a simple history, exam and ECG will let you know.

Question 6

how to decrease heart rate but still get a good workout?

Accepted Answer

Better shape: The harder you work the higher your heart rate. As a general rule, the better shape you are in, the lower your resting pulse. Unless you are on medication (beta blocker or some calcium channel blockers) your heart rate will increase with any reasonable work out.

Question 7

is it normal for my standing upright (standing still) heart rate to be 130 in the morning?

Accepted Answer

: Appears that your pulse is quite rapid for a 28 yo female, assuming that you did not exercise prior to standing still.  Best to see your physician, and check this supine and standing.  Possibility of POTS, but needs more extensive evaluation.

Question 8

i  am 64 and recently when exercising  heart rate goes to high 180 to 210. why? still feel good though.

Accepted Answer

Cardiologist: Those heart rates during exercise,if accurate, are excessive and potentially dangerous. A cardiologist should evaluate you and monitor your heart action while you perform a treadmill stress test. You may also get your thyroid status checked and an outpatient heart monitor test may be recommended. You probably will learn that your heart rate at your age with intense exercise shouldn't exceed 160/mi

Question 9

is there a way i can naturally lower my heart rate.  i exercise everyday, and eat right, yet it still dangerously high as in 100+.

Accepted Answer

I suggest seeing PCP: and may be a Cardiologist to ensure there are NO heart issues, if your Heart rate stays in the hundreds. 
Get it checked. Forget the natural ways of reducing it, till you get it checked.
Another possibility is a thyroid problem, which your PCP would be able to Diagnose and deal with.
Good Luck.

Question 10

heart rate keeps bottoming out, feel like i'm going to hit the floor. tried diet, stping toporal etc. still have reads of 44,47,52. what else to do?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: stop worrying. this rate does not cause any symptoms. if ur hr does not increase with exercise, then must see a cardiologist.
