A member asked:
Normal resting heart rate is 70-80. new medication and added heat from working outside, it's now 108-135 all day long. is this healthy? is it not stressful on my heart or body?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A transient (hours) elevation of heart rate to that level should be well tolerated by your heart/system at your age. If it continues long after you have rested and remained in a controlled normal setting I would wonder if the meds were having an unusual side effect worthy of contacting your doc.

A change from a normal resting heart rate to 108-135/min is not normal. It merits a visit to one's doctor for a careful history, physical exam and testing, including an EKG, and perhaps a TSH level (thyroid function test) and possibly others which your doctor might deem appropriate. Whether or not your medications might be the cause of the high heart rate can be assessed by your doctor.
