How fast,how long?: It is normal for the heart rate to accelerate after exertion or even after a substantial meal. However the rate increase should be mild(under 100) and should rather quickly return to baseline after several minutes of the exertion. At rest a normal heart rate can be between 55 and 90 with an average of 72 for most people. Have your blood tested and get a treadmill stress test.

I am able to exercise 7 days a week no problem. I walk up stairs and my heart beats fast. Saw a cardio, and I had EKG done which was normal. ECG done also normal. I sweat when I get excited or stressed. IDK what is going on. Perhaps Angina IDK though?

Tachycardia everyday, but not constant worse in morning. Normal rbc, thyroid, ekg, and ultrasound of heart. Anxiety? Inappropriate sinus tachycardia?

I got blood work done and potassium was 6.2, I also got an EKG and a heart ultrasound (later that day) and these were totally normal except for sinus tachycardia of anxiety inducing origin. Does this mean potassium was a false high?

I have tachycardia and hypertension. No doctors know why. Ecg and ultrasound came back normal apart from heart beating too quick. No family history.

ECG, heart ultrasound & blood normal, but 1 month after covid, my heart keeps racing with small activities, like walking around the corner. Last time my heart went to 170 bpm (while resting it is 72 bpm). How to get back to normal with long covid?
