A member asked:

Why is it that for the past few days i've had a high resting heart rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High heart rate: Without lots of information about you, can't guess. Lots of things will normally increase heart rate and lots of abnormal things will increase heart rate. If you're concerned, see your doctor for a history and exam and see if it can be figured out.
