Is my resting Heartrate too high?

I am 14 years old and for 6 years i had a resting heart rate of 70-135 bpm but when i stand up my heart rate goes to 100-150 bpm but when i exercise it races up to 140-225 in just the first 1-2 minutes of exercising is this something to be concerned about?

Probably the best options are UC Davis (Sacramento), UCSF or UCLA.  If you belong to Kaiser, their Santa Clara EP center or Los Angeles EP center would be ok as well because they do a high volume of procedures/cases.  Best wishes to you in getting your condition resolved.

It is important to know how skilled the centers are at treating your arrhythmia.

What do you mean like crazy?  In a row, how many do you think, how long?  It is possible you were having pacs not pvcs.  You can't really be certain without an evaluation.  In any event if whatever was going on stopped quickly and didn't cause you to pass out or anything like that then it is likely still nothing to worry about.

Because of your young age your heart has the ability to run faster than older folks so it could all be anxiety and panic related or even just an unconditioned heart that would settle down with consistent exercise but you still need to be evaluated by a doctor.  So just have your parents take you in for a check up and let them know your concerns.  And try drinking lots of water and see if that helps your issues. Take care.

It's a good question to ask.  Aspergers in and of itself would not cause a high heart rate but if you have anxiety with your aspergers then that could be part of the problem.  But you should be checked out by a doctor to get a definitive diagnosis on what is causing the fast heart beat.

130-140 is kind of high for just standing so you could have something like orthostatic hypotenstion or POTS or even dysutonomia but you need to be checked out.  If you do not have an svt that can be corrected there are meds that can help slow your rate down a bit so you can function better but you need to be evaluated by a cardiologist first.  Make sure you are eating well and drink lots of water.  That should help.

It would likely be svt though you need to be checked for an svt called wpw which does affect both the atria and ventricles.  I suspect that you may get a heart monitor to wear for a day or two or an event monitor for a month to try and track what your heart is doing during the day when you exercise.  I would also ask to be tested for thyroid issues if you haven't.  Best of luck.  Please let us know what the doctors say.

Well if your having an ECG in 3 days, your sorted. Put the Stet away and forget about it. Let the professional do the testing, forget checking yourself
