Fast Heart Rate

Fast Heart Rate

I am a 33 Year old female. I have a fast heart rate and it really scares me because i dont think it should be that high. Sitting and relaxing my heart rate is any where from 88 to 100. when i get up just to go to kitchen or move around it jumps to sometimes 130. I could understand it being that high if i was outside walking or jogging. I have went to doctors and they tell me i do have fast pulse that everyone does and you have to live with it..I dont feel that is right either..

When you heart rate gets too high, you will be severely short of breath and unable to talk.  Usually, this happens around 160 to 200 beat per minute.  If your heart is beating 200 beats per minute, then the heart is not efficient at pumping the blood.  If it reaches this high, you should be seen right away.  Your heart rate at 88 to 100 while relaxing is fine.  A heart rate of 130 while walking around is fine.  If you want a lower heart beat, you can try exercising more and walking more.  My heart beats 130 sometimes at nighttime while trying to sleep.  There is nothing wrong with my heart that doctors can find and I have been told the same as you (that it will not hurt me and to just let it beat).  Calcium and Vitamin B supplements are helpful for calming.  You may want to make sure that you are getting enough calcium and Vitamin B in your diet.  Stay away from caffeine as that can really get the heart rate up fast.
