A member asked:

My resting heart rate was 205 can this be caused by dehydration?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Many things in life are possible, but heart rates above the 170's usually mean something else is wrong. Dehydration means different things to different people, and comes in varying severities. Teens and adults with a little bit of dehydration due to minor illnesses, or moderate dehydration due to bad stomach flu, are not likely to get up to the 200 heart rate range.
