A member asked:

I go walking for 19 minutes 2.5 mph come inside check my pulse and it's 138 bpm is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seems: Excessive for someone your age for such low level of activity. If this is happening regularly, or the heart rate is not coming down within a few minutes of rest, you need to be evaluated as this could be due to some abnormal heart rhythm. Best wishes.
