High resting heart rate?!
Question: High resting heart rate!?
I am a 21 year old female, 105 lbs, 5'4"!. For about a year I've been regularly noticing a very high resting heart rate, particularly in the morning: I've counted up to 125 beats per minute!. When this happens, I'm short of breath, hot/sweaty, as if I've just ran a mile!. I do understand this is abnormal and I need to see a doctor (which obviously I've been putting off) but I wonder just how abnormal it is and if I'm in any immediate danger!. My thought is that it's a hyperthyroid, explaining the lack of weight gain regardless of my tendency to eat like an overweight man, hair thinning, although not explaining poor circulation which may be a completely different problem, but like I said, all I wonder is if this could be something I should really be taking more seriously than I admit that I have!. Thanks in advance and sorry for the obnoxiously long question!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
If I was your doctor and I saw all of these signs and symptoms, the first two things I would check are your thyroid hormone profiles and your adrenal hormone profiles!. I am sure you will find an answer in one or both of these areas!. If they turn out normal, then I would look at other probabilities such as primary metabolic disorders!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Please go visit your doctor!. Whatever it is, I wouldn't mess around! Www@Answer-Health@Com
It might be a hormone in-balance!. This could be a nutritional deficiency that either contributes or starts the chain of events that causes this!. I'll explain!.
Let's say that your diet isn't good and/or your body is deficient in lipase which is an enzyme that breaks down your fats from you food!. The fats from your food can coat the walls of your small intestine and make it harder for you to absorb nutrients and if you are deficient in EFA {Essential Fatty Acids} this might hinder your hormone balance!. It can be the sole cause or you might have another cause of hormone in-balance that this may or may not be making worse!.
Also some people have damage to the good bacteria in their digestive system by antibiotics!. This good bacteria helps you digest your food!. too!.
I would have a doctor test your levels,but think if you want to increase good nutrition and enzymes to your diet as well!. You may need drugs,but I would see how much nutrition can help!. Extra virgin olive oil is a good source of fatty acids and Salmon oil has the most amount of fatty acids of all fish known per gram as of a few years ago!. Also always check the amount of Vitamin A you are taking,as it's in fish oils, to avoid damaging your liver!.
