Are there any risk connected to running with a high pulse?!


Question: Hi, I've heard different rumors about running with high pulse. I'm 18 years, my resting pulse is at 47 beats per minute. I am in pretty good shape, but my pulse goes extremely high when I run or go cross county skiing. My average pulse in bpm is usually around 195, sometimes even as high as 95% of max pulse when I run/ski for about 30 minutes, and I've measured my pulse as high as 213 on these trips, even I haven't pushed my limits to the most. I experienced chest pain last year in the middle of my chest once in a while last year, like someone was stabbing me with a knife when I did sudden movements. However, this haven't bothered me for a while, so I think this pain was pretty harmless. I hear my friends pulse zones are a lot lower than mine when they run, my average pulse is above their max pulse, which makes me wondering if I just have a natural high pulse, or if there are any risks connected to this. Should I get a check at a doctor just in case, or are there no needs to worry?

It would be wise to go to the Doctor and let him run a full range of tests. Cardiologist preferably. I knew a young man who did indeed have a heart attack at the age of 19. It was fatal and not unheard of. There are Meds available for your condition and, you can still lead an active lifestyle.

i think a person pulse depends on body size. for ex if your heavy set you get tired easily and your body pilse rises. i think if your in shape you keep a steady body pulse. i think your more likely to pass out if you over do it. or like the perp under me said heart attack also dehydration can cause a hig pulse.

possible heart attack risk possibly. check with a doctor and see what they can do for you. they might give you a muscle relaxant possible.

you can get a hearts attack
go to a dr (:

maybe with some medicine ur
pulse will go normal

That's extremely high. Are you sure you are measuring your pulse rate correctly?

Why not go have a test by your doctor?
