I'm 16 years old. i just took my heart rate and it was 113 at rest. is that bad?

Elevated HR: Not necessarily bad, but not normal. If you are not having symptoms of shortness of breath, swelling, pain, then it is not worrisome. Likely it is due to caffeinated beverages or energy drinks. It also could be due to anxiety. If you are having any symptoms or it is like this with none of the things I mentioned then get evaluated.

Check it again: Heart rate varies with many things, including anxiety. If you are not experienced you may get a false reading. Be sure you are counting actual heart beats. Be sure to count while watching a clock for a full minute. If your pulse is always over 90 see a DR. If you feel ill or heart is pounding, see a DR today.

No: Teenagers can have heart rates up to 100, know that this is just an average. 113 is not far from the average. Teen girls tend to have higher heart rates then teen boys. One measurement only gives a snap shot, not the whole picture. Activity, emotions and anxiety can increase your heart rate for the moment.
