What Causes Elevation Of Heart Rate In Resting Position?
My husbands heart rate has been shooting up to 118 and higher randomly over the past month. He is in good shape, not over weight, and doesn t smoke. We just bought a new house and he has his comps scheduled for his doctorate in May that he has been stressing about. His blood pressure has always been low (100/60) and a heart rate of about 60 until this past month. It seems to only occur while he is laying down and relaxing. What should we do?

HI
Well come to HCM
Such increased heart rate may be due to sinus tachycardia and this could be normal one, some time anxiety and stress could be the reason of this, still if you want to clear some doubt then EKG and ECHO are advisable it just for safe side else this is nothing to worry, everything would be fine soon, take care.
