A member asked:

Can someone here inform me about my rapid heart rate? only happens when i climb stairs.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly. : Your heart should speed up when exercising or performing strenuous tasks however, this could also be a sign of heart disease. I would recommend seeing your doctor for a full work-up.
