Heart Rate over 90, very active, always hot....normal? Posted: 12-10-07 20:37pm
I am a 16 year old male, I play a lot of
tennis, usually 1.5-2 hours a day. I work
out and am really active. I recently found
out that my heart rate is about 95 bpm
when sitting and trying to stay calm. I
thought that exercise was supposed to make
your heart beat slower. At school I was
tesing this with a device that my anatomy
teacher has. My heart rate never dropped
below 90 bpm, except when someone would
get very close to me or touch me, then it
would drop into the mid 80's. I am trying
to find out if this is normal and if my
heart might beat faster for some reason.
Everyone else's heart rate in my class was
lower and did not go above 80. Also I was
wondering if this might have something to
do with why I am always hot, and why I
sweat when I sit still, especially my
hands. If I could get some information I
would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Children over 10 and adults (including
seniors) have 60 to 100 beats per minute
for resting heart rate.
If the resting heart rate is to be
determined, you must have been resting for
at least 10 minutes before measuring.
Many things can cause changes in your
normal heart rate, including your age,
activity level, and the time of day.
Do you take some meds, like meds to treat
asthma?
Are you taking stimulants such as
caffeine, amphetamines, diet pills, and
cigarettes?
Are you stressing and worrying over
something?
