Is my pulse rate too high?!


Question: Is my pulse rate too high!?
I have a blood pressure monitor at home and i did it earlier, and it told me i had a blood pressure of 99/60, but it also tells you your pulse rate and it was at 96!!
My 61 year old gran had a pulse of 82!
Why is my pulse rate so high!! I'm 17 and i'm on anti-depressants!.

Any help would be great, Thank you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anywhere between 60 and 100 is considered normal!. Yours is high, but normal!. Sometimes it depends on if what you've just been doing, your heart rate fluctuates throughout the day!. Also, some of these monitors are not always correct, even the ones they use in the hospital can be wrong!. This is why your GP will probably take it manually, it's guarenteed to be correct!. Don't worry :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have you been drinking Red Bull or any other energy drinks or caffeine containing beverages!? They can really raise your heart rate!. Also, some anti-depressants have a stimulant in them, including Wellbutrin!. Does that apply to you!?

Best time to take your pulse is first thing in the morning, while you're still laying in bed if you can!. Nothing has been added to your body yet, you're all relaxed!. Give that a try!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
