What Causes Rise In Heart Rate In The Resting Phase?
Hi, my question is I excersise almost daily, when I don't my heart rate stays normal but when I do exercise way after I'm done I go to sleep and my heart beat goes up and wakes me up 2 o 3 hours later after, and the heart rate won't slow down, What is causing this?

Heart is a dynamic organ, so heart rate would increase or decrease according to body's need of oxygen. When you exercise the need of oxygen increases and so your heart rate will increase, which is a natural phenomenon. Also during sleep if you are stressed out or you had a bad dream, the mental work will increase the heart rate, which again is physiological. You need to cut the cycle by relaxing as continued anxiety after getting up won't allow the heart rate to come back to normal.
