ur fine relaxWww@Answer-Health@Com

80 beats/minute is barely above normal!. I won't tell you anything scary because there is nothing scary about a pulse rate of 80!.

Lots of things can cause a faster heart rate - exercise, caffeine, anxiety, illegal drugs, decongestants!.!.!.

A normal, at rest heart rate is around 70 bpm, so you are within normal limits!. Athletes can have rates even lower, in the 40's or 50's!.

Even though it may feel like your heart is racing, you are fine!. Some people's hearts do flip flops, skip beats, have extra beats, all day long and they are perfectly normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you sit down on your own and quietly just breathe in and out slowly, then it should slow your heart down a little!. Your heart beats the blood around your body, and usually lowering the amount of oxygen slows the blood which calms down the heart!. Obviously don't breathe in and out so slow that you get dizzy, but just enough to make your heart stop beating so much!.

Hope this helps ^o^ xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

80 bpm isn't that fast!. However, It's a bit high if it's beating that fast and you're resting!. If you think you might have anorexia or any other eating disorders, tell someone close to you as soon as possible!. It can save your life!.

You might have an anxiety disorder!. That just means you panic for no reason!. You might also have allergies!. When I had allergies one year my heart was beating really fast and the school nurse asked me if i did cocaine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think when I was about 12 years old, something similar to this happened to me except it felt like something inside of my chest was vibrating!. I was at school at the time, so when I got home, I called my mom while she was at work and she rushed home to bring me to the doctor's!. They told me my heart rate was 228 beats per minute, so that's what was causing the vibration!.

So they told us to go to the hospital!. When we got there, they let me lie down and they asked me a bunch of questions like!.!.!.
- Did you drink enough water!?
- Did you drink/eat anything containing caffeine!?
- Did you eat lots of anything that was sweet!?
etc!.

They then injected something into the ivy and it made my heart beat go back to normal!. Turns out, I have SVT (Supraventricular Tachychardia)!. You can read about it here!.!.!. http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Supraventri!.!.!.

It happened a few more times after that, but my heart rate wasn't as fast, my guess would be that it was only around 90!. I found that it only happened whenever I was outside in extreme heat or whenever I wasn't drinking enough water!. Luckily, it doesn't happen anymore!.

I'm not totally sure if you have it, as I'm not a doctor, but I'm just suggesting it!. Did it just happen out of nowhere!? If you were running or carrying things that were heavy, I wouldn't worry about it!. Sometimes a fast heart rate can be caused by drinking caffeine or eating too much sugar!.

I hope I helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not to worry!. Your pulse will fluctuate with activity!. Caffeine in sodas and coffee will do this too!. Have you been exercising recently or watching/reading something scary or surprising!? This will raise your pulse rate!. You can journal your activities and look for a pattern that occurs just prior to your increased pulse rate!. Give it a week or so!. If you still have concerns, talk to your mom and/or doctor about this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hun you are ok! 80 is not bad at all!.what is going on is you have made yourself scared before you check you pulse!.you are having anxitey attacks because you are scared something is wrong with you!.trust me hun i ahve all kinds of problems and i know for a fact that 80 is not bad its normal and the reason why your heart is racing because you are scared!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You dont have to worry about it unless your heart goes over like 150bpm when you're not working out!. 80 is normal!. What were you told its supposed to be!? (it might feel like its beating hard if you've had an adreneline rush recently, panic attack, your scared, you've walked fast, etc)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Being scared and nervous about it is probably making it worse!. Focus on taking slow, deep breaths!. Listen to some soothing music or something to distract yourself!. If it keeps beating fast and you can't calm down, ask your parents to take you to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Could just be stress!. Sometimes it is just a little fast!.

Keep away from stimulus things like caffeine for a while!. If it keeps uo talk to your parents!.

But the more you think about it the more you are going to stress!. Just relax and take a seep breath!. You'll be OK little one = )

Take care Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sorry to scare you but, there is no easy way to say this but you might have a minor heat diesease called hypoplastic LV i dont know how to cure it but I Think it is caused by high rates of oxygen consumption!. i wish i was more help im still learning to be a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
