My heart rate is really high? What do I DO?
I’m 15, Gr.10, Shortish —> 5′4 , and 103 LBS
Today in gym, we took our resting heart rates while standing up. My heart rate was the same as all the fat kids. It was 109 B.P.M. (beats per minute). I’m athletic, iv’e played soccer for six years. Im a fast runner, I skateboard like everyday, and in the winter I snowboard. I’m good at mostly all sports, I work out, and im in shape.
My heart rate after running 5 laps around a normal highschool gym was 30 beats in 10 seconds. Which is 180 beats per minute.
I have an abnormally fast heart rate.. What should I do? Im skinny! So i dont think eating healthier food is the answer.
could it be a growth spert? My dads family is all really tall, but my moms side is short. I look identical to my dad.. so i dont think ill be too short.
HELP!!???!!
It is normal for athletes to have a faster resting heart rate than the average person. When I worked on the ambulance we saw it all the time in people who were very athletic. Nothing to worry about. You are fine.
