A member asked:
Could heart rate increase in winter or hot weather?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it could: Heart rate is one of the compensatory mechanisms used to maintain the conditions inside your body on an even keel regardless of the weather conditions outside. So, yes indeed your heart rate may increase when you are exposed to significantly cold or hot weather.
