What Does My Pulse Rate Of 110 Indicate?
Question: Should a pulse rate of 110 at rest be of concern?
Brief Answer:
should be assessed
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes.
The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats/min. A pulse of 110 would be classified as tachycardia (heart rate above normal)
It should be assessed by your doctor.
This assessment would normally include : (1) a history- how long symptom has been occurring, associated symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, possible symptoms of thyroid disease, anemia, previous history of heart disease etc
(2) examination
(3)investigations- anemia, hyperthyroidism (high levels of thyroid hormone), heart disease
Blood tests such as a complete blood count (to check for anemia), thyroid hormone levels
ECG to check the rate and rhythm of the heart beat
Any additional tests would depend on the findings in the examination and initial investigations.
Anxiety is also a cause for increased heart rate at rest but this is only considered after everything else has been checked and ruled out.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
