Is Heart Rate Of 140 Bpm A Cause For Concern?
Is 140 BPM an okay heart rate for someone who has a phlegmy cough? (I was coughing off and on for about 5 minutes. Then it was hard coughing for about 30 seconds. I felt my heart beating really fast, so I checked my pulse and it was 140 on my stopwatch and head count.)
