A member asked:
My heart rate was elevated for several hours when i was just laying down. it was between 96-104bpm?

This seems a little: high even at your age. Many things could contribute to this including stress, caffeine, fever and dehydration. If it recurs and there is no obvious explanation then you could ask your health care provider to give you a monitor to wear and confirm there is nothing serious present.

See your Family Doc: Heart rate varies depending upon activity & health. Anemia, caffeine, dehydration & hyperthyroidism can increase heart rate. Electrical problems inside heart can also do this. Bottom line, see your Family Doc who can start evaluation w/blood tests & EKG. May need Holter monitor if occurs regularly or event monitor if infrequent. Then referral to Cardiologist as appropriate. And avoid stimulants!
