Done Back Surgeries, Knee Replacement. Is My Heart Rate Normal?
I am 50 yrs old, 5 10 tall and weigh 235. I was an athlete, jogged and played basketball until i was 45. I have had 4 back surgeries and a total knee replacement within the last 6yrs. I do walk 2 miles twice a week, and I am on light BP and cholesterol meds. My resting heart rate is normally around 100-108. It still feels a little fast to me. Is this normal or do I need to see my Doctor?

hi,
as you told your resting heart rate is more , what anti hypertension medicine you are using, because some anti HTN drugs cause reflux tachy caridia like amlodepine. So consult your physician and evaluate for resting tachycardia because other causes like anemia , hyperthyriodism and so on can cause.
