Heart Rate: That is high even with exercise. An EKG and a Holter Monitor study and I good exam with a stress test may help to sort this out. All the best.

No,See a Doctor: Your maximum heart rate is determined by 220 minus Your age. the greater the athlete you are the more exertion and will take to reach your maximum heart.A heart rate of 209... If that is accurate would never be normal.See your doctor immediately
