A member asked:
If someone had shortness of breath due to heart or a lung problem, at rest, would you expect a higher heart rate? or can it be normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dyspnea : If you are having significant shortness of breath, your heart rate would go up as this would be a normal physiological response.
