Should I Be Worried About My Heart Rate Being 200 While Exercising?
Hello. I'm a 19 year old female with no history of medical illness, I don't smoke or drink (at all), and I exercise weekly. I weigh 144 at 5'4'' and I've had a heart rate that goes to 200 or more while I exercise for a few years (about 3). I'll slow down and cool off slowly, but the rate takes at least 30 to 40 seconds to drop down to 140. Any ideas?

Hi,
Mostly it's not a matter of worry. Normally in your age heart rate can go up to 200 but it's not very common. I suggest one treadmill test so that we can exactly determine the exact nature of tachycardia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
