High Heart rate 190 BPM
by katsu_bean, Apr 08, 2008 08:23AM
When I exercise I can keep my heart rate at 180-190 without "trying" too hard. I don't feel out of breath and can breath only through my nose. I can sustain this rate for 25-30 minutes. I could talk to someone while doing this.
If I exert myself a little more I can get my HR up to 190-195. Can keep it at 190 for 10-15 minutes no problem. At this point I have to breath through my mouth, but I am by no meaning huffing and puffing. Might be a little harder to talk but I still could. Don't feel light headed or dizzy and no pain.
When I stop exercising my HR goes back to normal, I don't know what my resting heart rate is though. The next day I don't feel particularly sore.
Is this normal?
Some guy who saw my HR read out at the gym was convinced I was going to have a heart attack. I am almost 32 female, 5'3 125 lbs non smoker, been pretty active my whole life but would no consider myself to be in top shape.

In case anyone reads this I just got my blood pressure checked and it was 116/64. Which I think is good?

Sometimes when you exercise , then there is a rise in your heart rate and when you stop exercising your heart rate become normal. But yes, 180-190 is much more than normal. First check your heart rate when you are not doing any hardwork. If it is still more than the normal, then visit the doctor.
