What Causes A High Pulse Rate In The Morning Time?
Question: THe last couple of mornings I have been waking up with my pulse around 100-110. I'm 53 years old, don't have any medical conditions, not taking any medications, vitamins or supplements, slightly obese. I have no other symptoms - no shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness. I have changed my diet and doing low carb. Could this be low blood sugar?

Possibly drops in blood sugar and oscillations in blood pressure...
