16, Heart beat per minute high?
Hi, I'm 16 and since I was very young I've always concidered my heart beat faster than others, mainly because of class exercises where we compared them...
Still now it's hard to find someone who can go up to 120s beats per minute... and this is happens to me because I'm worried and I have anxiety or I'm doing exercise (but it can go higher than that during exercise at times when I really push myself) ...
My heart beat per minute is rarely under 90... and usualy, 95-100 or a little more...
I have no Idea what this means, all I know is that people look supprised when I tell them and they feel the need to check me for themselves. I'm athmatic and don't do much exercise because running down a flight of stairs can cause my asthma to start up at times..... I have anxiety problums aswell...
I don't know if this will help..
I remember being in 4th grade and doing this oh so familiar exercise and my teacher wouldn't believe I was about 100-105 beats per minute. She kept making me try over, and eventually gave up.
Please tell me if there's anything wrong, I don't feel the need to worry about it until someone says it's something I should worry about...
Sometimes my chest starts to really hurt... but that hasn't happend for two months until tonight (presently 100 beats), and usually it hurts when it's higher than 110-115?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
I am glad things sorted out for you. If you are on inhalers for asthma or on bronchodilators, then they also increase the heart rate. You can discuss this with your doctor though a heart rate of 90/min, resting is nothing to be alarmed about.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Thank you so much, now I know not to freak out, but if I feel that it's too fast to speak to my docter... Man, this site can rly help out! ;) Thanks!
Don't be concerned. Your heartbeats are within the range of normal limits for your age.
Heartrate is compensatory, so it is not unusual for an asthmatic to have an elevated rate at times. The asthma causes constriction on the passageways to the alveoli, which degrades the efficiency of the oxygen transfer. This results in a lower P02 in the blood and the brain signals the heart to speed up a bit.

And during exercise your HR can go up to 200... so 120 isn't really fast considering your age..However, if you are having chest pain you should talk to your doctor about this. It might be anxiety-related too. Anyway, I think the best way to find out if everything is ok is to have a chat with your doctor.
Hi Kimala,
Normal resting heart rate is somewhere between 60 and 100. It's different for different people- athletes, for example, tend to have really slow HR and people who don't exercise much, often have faster pulse. Also, teenagers tend to have faster HR than adults. I don't think you should be concerned about this but if you are really worried, ask your primary care doctor, or even school nurse, next time you see him//her just for your peace of mind :-).
