Why is my heart Rate so high?


Question:
I am 17 and i run and swim competatively. Whenever I get my heart rate checked it is in the 70's. Is this normal?

Answers:
Well if you're concerned, see a doctor just to be safe. If you're getting your heart rate checked, then I assume you ARE at the doctor's. If he/she isn't concerned, you're ok! Just make sure you're eating right, not smoking, and not intaking too much caffeine. Even some vitamins or OTC drugs you take can increase your heart rate.
err..yeah, thats the normal heart rate, 60-100 bpm`s (beats per minute)
I would think so...but if you're concerned tell your parents or coach.

Some people's just beat fast.Mine stays around 113...yikes!!
Im 34...still high but normal for me.Womens tend to be higher to.
Standard rate is 78.
with time and consistent exercise, ur heart will become more efficient. this way, ur exercising and normal heart rate will hopefully come down.

never overexert urself and push urself too hard.

yes, ur heart rate is normal. it varies and the average is 70 for men.

teenage dudes have a little higher than grown men. so u are perfectly alright.
