A member asked:

Please advise if it's normal to feel dizzy when your heart rate increases?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dizzy: It is not normal to feel dizzy when your heart rate increases to reasonable levels. If your heart gets too fast, it is possible to produce dizziness. For many people a rate of say 170 BPM might be too fast, but the number varies by individual and circumstance.
