A member asked:

I have been sitting down for a good 30 minutes and i stood up only once to get the remote to turn the tv off. my heart rate is at 126 and i don't know?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tachycardia: This rapid heart rate is inappropriate for someone at rest. Possible causes include fever, anxiety, overactive thyroid,excessive caffeine, nicotine or alcohol. If the heart rate remains over 100/min, go to the hospital emergency room where an examination, blood tests and an ekg can be done to determine the actual heart rate and rhythm.
