Heart rate 170s consistently lately. i am running the same pace as normal and im an elite runner. i fee exhausted and have been using a heart rate monitor. i know it is pretty accurate because i feel exhausted too. this isnt normal for me?

Palpitations: Heart rate in the 170's is abnormal. You should see a doctor for complete labs and physical exam and ekg. Also may need a holter monitor to evaluate the rhythm further. Would not recommend running until further evaluation done. Minimize caffeine and supplements if you are taking any until work up done.
