Is this normal or should I be worried?!
Question: Today I woke up with the pulse rate of 110. What could be the reason?
I didn't have bad dreams, in fact my dreams were pretty nice, Yesterday I passed an exam. I had a nice 10-hours sleep.
I've never had any heart problems. My pulse rate is usually between 60 and 90.
Why was my heart racing? Can anyone explain?

If it's not a common occurance, it's not time to be worried about it just yet. There are just too many things that can influence them. Some triggers to look out for, however:
1) Smoking. If you do, quit. Nicotine has the effect of narrowing blood passages, which can lead to a rapid heartrate and high blood pressure. Add to that the well-established link between cigarettes and heart disease in general (not to mention cancer), and it's easy to conclude this is one habit that's worth doing without.
2) Medications. Depending on what you're taking--if anything at all--it may well be worth discussing this with your doctor. This also applies to herbal remedies and certain dietary supplements that you may be taking.
3) Fatigue. Burning the candle at both ends--even if it's not costing you sleep--puts your body in hyper-drive. Careers, family pressures, finaces, and even relationships are pretty common sources; in these instances it usually calls for backing off or asking for outside help from friends and family.
4) Alcohol. While small amounts have shown actual benifits to the heart (alcohol thins the blood), too much is never a good thing. And since for many people alcohol is a trigger for smoking...
5) Overtraining. If you work out, it may be a signal to re-evaluate your fitness routine. Exercise is a stress! It's only benificial when it isn't carried to the point of not allowing the body to recover and over-compensate (strengthen).
6) Diet. Certain foods affect different people in different ways. For pulse rates, spicy foods are sometimes the culprit. Eating too soon before bed, in others, can influence the heart rate.
7) The temperature of the room you're sleeping in. I fall into this catagory! If the room's hot, my pulse is high and my sleep is restless. So even though I may average the same amount in hours that I'd normally get... it's not restful sleep, and my body knows it.
8) Illness. Been fighting a cold lately? Taking medications for allergies (this falls into catagory number two) or sinus congestion? This might be your guy! Sometimes even the illness itself can elevate your heart rate.
Again, if this is the first outing you've had, I seriously doubt you have much to worry about. The eight points above really only serve as a check-list if this becomes a reoccuring problem.
As always, if it's a serious concern, see your doctor.
It happens. Maybe you're stressed? And mabye you had a dream you don't remember, that's likely.
Dont panic babe. You're fine. But if you experience any pain, then you might want to have it checked. Stress is a common problem in college kids. Trust me I know, lol... (((Tigger)))
It could be something you ate yesterday. I don't drink energy drinks anymore because they started giving me heart problems. That's all I can tell you. Other than that, go see a doctor. Not something to mess around with.
it's very common in the morning to have some anxiety. if you have a lot of stress in your life, it can hit you all at once when you wake up.
Caffeine could be a cause. What have you had to drink lately?
I have long history of Tachycardia (200 bpm) and it started in my early 20's.
No soda's?
Your digestive system was probably working hard to digest a meal you had previously. Not to be too indelicate, but if you had a bowel movement afterwards and your pulse went down, then that's your answer.
There is no such thing as a brain transplant Smokin Pope!
There are many reasons that your heart rate may be high, but once you don't feel anything unusual like dizziness or nausea, there is nothing to be concerned about.
