A member asked:

I'm a smoker not hevy also left the gym a couple hours ago but my pulse is 108 a minute at rest is it bad ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High heart rate.: All things considered, a normal heart rate would be 60-100 beats per minute, so 108 is a bit high, especially since you left the gym quite some time ago. Smoking a cigarette can transiently raise the HR and blood pressure, but if this rate is sustained, then it requires investigation.
