Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical query I understand your concern & I would like to tell you that heartbeat is ever changing phenomena depending on your physical activity, emotional state and physiological changes. Heart rate increases during day time as you are active for your work and decreases during evening hours. Heart rate is lowest in your sleeping hour. So this is normal phenomena which needs not to be worried.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



I understand your concern and would explain that these heart rate fluctuations could be related to the physical activity or emotional stress. Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

- A resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound

- A chest X ray study

- Complete blood count for anemia

- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction

- Blood electrolytes.



If all the above tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about!

I would just recommend performing regular physical activity in order to improve your physical performance.



Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
