I've noticed my pulse has been over 100, around 115, for the past two days. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this, and how can I get back to a normal pulse rate?

A pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute is considered to be higher than normal (tachycardia). There are several possible causes for this, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid issues, or certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please seek medical advice promptly.
