Tachycardia: U need thorough evaluation by your family doctor to rule out several things such as anemia or thyroid problem or heart issues, etc. Wish u well.

See a doctor: Rapid heartbeat can be a sign of anxiety, but more worrisome causes include thyroid disturbances, chemical imbalance in the blood, low blood counts, complication of medical therapy or dehydration. See your doctor and get checked out. And don't wait around. Some of these problems can be serious.

I have had my heart thoroughly checked by cardiologist recently. Lately my sitting down resting pulse rate is about 80 beats per minute. When I stand it goes up to 100 to 105 and only settles to 90 to 95 when just standing still. What could be causes?

My resting pulse is always around 95-110 beats per minute. 90+ is very dangerous correct? Does this mean stroke/heart attack for my future? BP 130/85

My resting pulse rate has been 95 to 100 beats per minute for the last few days. I've had heart tests with a cardiologist about a year ago and all was fine. Can stress and anxiety cause that?

My resting heart rate is 55 bpm. I live a sedentary life. I never had my heart below 57. I guess i have little anxiety and I am really worried.

I have anxiety. When I go to the doctors my pulse is very high, when I get home, my pulse is normal. My resting heart rate is around 70 on average. Is this concerning?
