Got my wisdom teeth removed. all went smoothly but oral surgeon mentioned that my heart rate was over 100 the entire time? is this normal?im an athlet

Tachycardia : See your MD get a CBC. It's possible you were dehydrated or mildly anemic. An increased heart rate always has a reason and it's the underlying cause that needs to be determined. Pain and anxiety are also common reasons for tachycardia Infection, anemia , drugs and medications like decongestants , low blood pressure, and sometimes arrhythmia are other causes. Good luck to you.

Depends : Were you given only local anesthetic (shot), or did you go to sleep? Were you nervous before and during the procedure? Athletes typically have a low resting heart rate that can accelerate to quite a high level under stress. This all sounds normal but if you're concerned, see Your Physician for a stress test.
