See below.: Pulses often go up when at the doctor. We call that "white coat syndrome." People are often nervous about the visit or a possible diagnosis or labwork, all of which can elevate your pulse. A resting pulse at home of 90 for someone your age is a little high, but it depends on your height, weight and cardiovascular status. Please discuss with your own doctor.
