Q: High Pulse Rate

My pulse rate is running over 100 quite often. I have no pain with

it. I can hear it pounding in my ears. I am taking procardia for it.

Also take blood pressure medicine which keeps me about 145/72.

I will be flying in two weeks. Is my pulse rate running high okay??

I too had a problem with a racing pulse but mine was from asthma medications that were very necessary to live. I would run this question by your doctor just to be sure.
