A member asked:
Can you explain if it's unhealthy to raise your heart rate to 180 beats per minute?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart rate: For some people heart rates of 180bpm during exercise or stress are not problematic. For most people pushing the rate to 180 isn't necessary in conditioning or other activities. For people with sick hearts, rates of 180bpm can be very unhealthy.
