A member asked:

Whilst warming up on a stationary bicycle saturday morning my heart rate shot up to 201bpm and settled to 120bpm, this is concerning and the first time it happened.

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 going on. Exercise, anxiety, or fever or minor dehydration from typical illnesses should not take an adult's heart rate up to the 200's range. Be sure the heart rate counter is working properly. One's primary care doctor can evaluate, and may refer to cardiology for testing and heart rate monitoring.
