Is it normal for my pulse rate to be 136 bpm?

m 25 yrs old female...and i was at the grocery store and decided to check my blood pressure. my blood pressure was normal but my pulse rate is out of control. that means my heart beats twice faster than a normal heart.



Is it normal for my pulse rate to be 136 bpm?

That heart rate is very fast. the normal heart rate is from 60 to 100 beats per minute. If your blood pressure is normal it should follow that your pulse rate should be normal but it is not. given the fact that you are in a grocery and you are up and about, both your blood pressure and heart rate should be up. I am just wondering if you have any heart rate irregularities. if not, have yourself go the doctor and ask him to do an ECG or EKG. This is to check if there is a problem with the rhythm of your heart.



We can;t just assume here that you have a heart problem because we need tests for us to be able to diagnose that. so, the best way is to have yourself tested.



Is it normal for my pulse rate to be 136 bpm?

not quite twice as fast but go to a doc



Is it normal for my pulse rate to be 136 bpm?

No, that is not a normal resting rate. Of course, at the grocery store you not at rest, you are walking around and pushing a cart. Check the equipment, re-check your pulse manually (on your wrist or neck).



Check you pulse a couple of different times, always after sitting down for at least two minutes.



A normal resting pulse rate is around 72-80 bpm.



Is it normal for my pulse rate to be 136 bpm?

To start ...... what is Your normal heart rate? Everyones is diffrent. Check with your Doctor and talk with them and see if you need to me monitored for underlying problems that could cause a fast heart rate. Good Luck



Is it normal for my pulse rate to be 136 bpm?

A normal pulse rate is 80 - 100 bpm. The pulse can go higher temporarily if you are suffering anxiety or fright or are exercising. High pulse rate can happen even with normal blood pressure. Certain medical conditions such as anemia can cause high pulse rates. If this persists and is reproducible, see your physician. If it goes on for a long time you can get enlargement of the heart, since it is working harder - this is not good. There are medications known as beta blockers to treat this condition.



Is it normal for my pulse rate to be 136 bpm?

the normal heart rate is 60 to 100 if you ativate yourself your heart rate will increase, this is probably why it increases you do active grocery shopping that means you move continuouslyy

I%26#039;m 18 %26amp;for almost 3 years now i%26#039;ve been suffering from Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome, also known as dysautonomia. Somehow my little mitral valve in my heart is causing all sorts of problems for me.



I suffer from the following symptoms of MVPS:



-Tachycardia- my heart will often go up to rates of 160-180 and stay up for anywhere from 3-8 hours causing severe chest pain and shortness of breath



-Anxiety %26amp; Panic attacks



-Horrible headaches



-Inability to concentrate



-Bad reactions to adrenaline(my body reacts horribly to adrenaline, when I get scared or anything like that I get muscle spasms and my body shakes sometimes for up to an hour)



-Fatigue



I find it very difficult to work under these circumstances and my doctor tells me I should be on disability but I went to a lawyer and he said they wouldn%26#039;t approve me? Is this true or should I see a different lawyer



I really need the money for school but I fear I won%26#039;t be able to keep whatever job I find with all this going on :-/



Please help! Disability for 18 yr old w/ heart condition?

You don%26#039;t need a lawyer to apply for disability. The doctor who told you - you should be on disability is right. Your heart disease qualifies you and not the other problems like horrible headaches or panic attacks; etc. You need him to write up a certification to that effect. Ask him to put it in writing his findings and reason for the disability application.



It took me well over 8 months to fight for mine. Plus countless doctors%26#039; visits and doctor%26#039;s medical reports and evaluations and surgeries. SSA ( social security administration) did pay it all retroactively from the time I became disabled. I didn%26#039;t use a lawyer and saved way over $4,000.00.( SSA mentioned this because they usually withhold that fees)



Also, because you%26#039;re young, you should go for the MVR ( mitral valve replacement ) surgery. I%26#039;m sure it will certainly improve the quality of your life.



Please help! Disability for 18 yr old w/ heart condition?

surgery?....might help



Please help! Disability for 18 yr old w/ heart condition?

I reckon you should be able to claim disability for that, get a claim form from your social security or job centre and see if they accept you



Please help! Disability for 18 yr old w/ heart condition?

Disability living allowance is nothing to do with lawyers just go onto www.dwp.gov.uk and fill in the application on line.



Good luck



Please help! Disability for 18 yr old w/ heart condition?

Of course you should get social security disability.. Collect all your doctor information, names addresses and phones number. Call social security. Ask them to send you an application for disabilty. The the number is 1-800-772-1213. Now yes you might be turn down. BUT you then get a lawyer. I live in Michigan and that%26#039;s how I got my disability. They turned me down and I had brain surgery and was left with numerour problems. I%26#039;ve even got a hole in my skull. The neat thing about this is that you will get a big fat check once you are approve. It covers back pay from the day you filled out your application. FIGHT, lawyers get a percentage for the case but you don%26#039;t pay anything up front. DO fight. I%26#039;ve have done a lot of research on this even had a letter published in our local paper. Thousands get turned down at their first try. You can do this.

The problem is that you are asking a lawyer about your ability to work is like asking a doctor about a law suit. The bottom line is with your problems face years of medical supervision and companies don%26#039;t hire because of the cost to their insurance. It may take longer but I think the stress of working will do more harm than good.



I don%26#039;t know about heart conditions but if you have a medical condition it is very hard to find work. As for school they can%26#039;t turn you down. Good luck and God be with you.

What is the success rate for someone going in for angioplasty?

Also, what is the success rate for a stint being put into their heart valve?



What is the success rate for someone going in for angioplasty?

The stent is a small mesh-like tube that is deployed to the inside of your coronary artery. A balloon is advanced the where the lesion exists, then inflated, essentially crushing the plaque open. A stent is then deployed to the area to keep it open.



If the lesion is amenable to angioplasty then they are very successful - it is rare that an attempt to deploy a stent is made and can not be done, or a complication intercedes. On the other hand there can be lesions that can not be reached, completely blocked, or in a vessel or place in a vessel that would not improve your condition or heart function. In those cases, often no intervention is performed.



It is a very common procedure that has very few down sides and many up sides. I have seen patients come back a week after the procedure and say %26quot;I haven%26#039;t felt this good in 20 years.%26quot; The results can be really dramatic.



Good luck and good health. I hope this helps.



What is the success rate for someone going in for angioplasty?

pretty sucessful



go for it.

Dxing a Walking Heart Attack?

I%26#039;ve read about some people who%26#039;ve had heart attacks without necessarily knowing they%26#039;ve had them. This is probably a stupid question, but I was thinking about how diabetes is diagnosed if the blood sugar is a certain number after fasting or whatever. Is there a certain pulse rate and/or blood pressure which is considered a heart attack? I do understand that a heart attack is where a blood vessel in the heart bursts and vital signs an vary a lot from person to person, but I am wondering if there is some kind of number where heart attack is certain....



Dxing a Walking Heart Attack?

A heart attack is a myocardial infarction. It is caused when an artery supplying blood to the heart is blocked starving the heart muscle of oxygen.



The only %26quot;easy%26#039; tests I am aware of is an EKG where they look for %26quot; T- wave abnormalities%26quot; (don%26#039;t ask me what a T-wave is). I understand the T-wave shows the heart is starved for oxygen. When I was in the hospital the nurses would come and yell at me when my T-wave %26quot;inverted%26quot; because I didn%26#039;t press the nurses button. ( I didn%26#039;t feel anything) There is also a blood test to check for an enzyme that the heart generates when it is starved for oxygen.



Dxing a Walking Heart Attack?

there%26#039;s no certain BP for a person to experience heart attack as long as you adhere to the treatment regiment to control hypertension everything will be ok.. over 140/90 is hypertensive anyone who is high blood can experience heart attack..when your heart%26#039;s workload is increased %26amp; it cannot compensate the changes %26amp; lack of blood supply on the myocardium (myocardial infarction) w/c also decreased cardiac output..



diabetes can predispose you to have hypertension, because of decrease renal perfusion your heart tends to compensate by increasing blood flow therefore increases heart%26#039;s work load..%26amp; kidneys secretes angiotensin 2 w/c is a vasoconstrictor



Dxing a Walking Heart Attack?

Sound like you have a career as a doctor in your future. And no, there is no magic bullet, and the real number to be worried about is 0.



Dxing a Walking Heart Attack?

no changes in pulse rate or blood pressure indicate a heart attack...some people do have heart attacks with mild, vague, or absence of the typical complaints, no crushing chest pains, no sweating or nausea, no shortness of breath, etc....the EKG recording will show either a heart attack in progress, or one that has happened in the past....



Dxing a Walking Heart Attack?

There are patients who have nonspecific symptoms that can be mistaken for other ailments such as heartburn, indigestion, muscle spasm, etc. An ECG will show if a heart attack is happening, or has happened in the past.

We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

Little history of today and the last month.



I had to call and reschedule my Nuclear heart testing today.*they closed anyway at noon do to road conditions*. I have had bad chest pains and numbing in my arms and my hand. My pulse rate keeps going to 110 and I swear it skips a little bit at times. When I went to the docs last week they scheduled the heart clinic and I went for first consult.



My Doctors office called with my cholestrol test at 9am. Now there closed to at noon by the way. Results 268, HDL-41, LDL-168,



Tri 297, They called to say they were giving me Lipitor and what place to send it to. Like it matters I cant get to it. lol



They told me to take the xanax as I needed. But they never told me to take the asprin at either visit. Should I take some? Could it hurt without knowing what exactly is going on with my heart yet? I just want to lower my pulse rate and help with the pains I have in my chest.



Calling the Er seems dumb for this. (Since Doc is closed)



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

sure, take one aspirin, it won%26#039;t hurt, it might help. Take the xanax too, then sit in a comfy chair and try to relax. Chest pain from anxiety is self limiting and should not last more than 15 minutes at a time. If you are having chest pains lasting longer then I suggest you get to the ER, don%26#039;t call them, if you must call an ambulance, don%26#039;t drive yourself.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

you need to call an ems you are having a heart attack you need to get to the hospital asap



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

I%26#039;m a nurse and I am also in the blizzard. The ER is the best idea for your symptoms. Take care and all the best.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

Zanax will calm you if you are having an anxiety issue. But be your own health advocate. My father died of a massive heart attack because he ignored the %26quot;symptoms%26quot; of his heart attack.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

if you have insurance, go to ER and see if they can%26#039;t bring your pulse rate down.



it is not good to let your pulse race unchecked....especially, if you feel it skip.



bottom line....go get checked out right now if you are having chest pain.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

Why are you wasting time asking questions here??? GET YOUR BUTT TO THE ER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

I wouldn%26#039;t jump to the conclusion you are having a heart attack. From this situation you described, it sounds like an anxiety type issue. If you have been prescribed Xanax then it my be an anxiety attack. I would take a minute concentrate on your breathing and slow it down. If you feel like your health is in imminent danger call 911.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

Wow Sweetie, you can take an aspirin, if there is a blood clot it will help thin it, that is high very high for your cholesterol, if you have difficulty lifting your arms, smiling, saying a simple sentence you could be having a stroke, if you feel like an elephant is sitting on your chest that is a heart attack call 911. Do not delay. the thing to remember right now is to stay calm, deep breath slowly through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth, you could be under stress and this should help you to calm down. Stay as calm as possible and call 911, they can see if there is anything happening. Good luck, God bless and put angels on your pillows.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

If you are having chest pain with a pulse of 110, call 911 and get to a hospital at once. You may be having a heart attack or a rythmn distrubance.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

who says 110 is high, I had mine up to 117 during rehab it was 111 when I started



Your HDL is close to the 45 they want as a min., I took my HDL from



34 to 73 in a year with the whole grain breakfast deal



My LDL is 177



My try went down My total is the same as yours and they are not worried about it.



Lipitor gave me flu like symptoms tight chest and tight throut and High Blood pressure



60% of the folks that have heart attacks are in this range



it%26#039;s a pill pushing scheme



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

If your hands and arms are numb I would call an ambulance, go ahead and take some aspirin, it%26#039;ll help with the pain.



We are in a blizzard and I am having chest pain with a pulse rate of 110?

All I know is that ANYTIME you have chest pains, you should seek medical attention. Please have someone drive you to the hospital as cautiously as possible. Take care!

Why is The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things rated R....?

I saw it was rated R, and was wondering why? Are there inapropriate scenes? if so, how inapropriate (like, what happens) I%26#039;m trying to decide if it%26#039;s suitable for my 13 yr old daughter to see.



Thank you very much!



Why is The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things rated R....?

i saw this movie, very intense, an independent film also. The little boy in it gets raped by one of his mother%26#039;s boyfriends, has to go to the hospital to get complications from this fixed, there%26#039;s a lot of drug content, the mother is on every drug out there and says a lot of out there, vulgar things, there%26#039;s a lot of nudity, sex content, drug content, child abuse, etc. I think if you are going to let your daughter watch this movie, you should watch it with her. It%26#039;s also very depressing.
