I've been monitoring my heart rate for the past year, and it's consistently around 110 beats per minute every day. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I consider visiting a doctor to get it checked out?

A heart rate of 110 beats per minute may be considered high, especially if it is consistently elevated. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to reduce your heart rate by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises. If the high heart rate persists, a doctor may prescribe medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.

Your consistently elevated heart rate of around 110 beats per minute, which is above the normal resting range (typically 60-100 bpm), is something to pay attention to.

  1. Possible Causes: a. Stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake b. Thyroid issues, anemia, or an underlying heart condition

  2. When to See a Doctor:

    • It is important to consult a healthcare professional to evaluate your heart rate, especially since it has been consistently elevated for a year.
    • They may perform tests like an ECG, blood work, or a Holter monitor to understand the cause.
  3. What You Can Do Now:

    • Keep a record of your heart rate readings along with any symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath.
    • Avoid stimulants like caffeine and ensure proper hydration.

Visiting a doctor will help identify if this elevated heart rate is benign or requires treatment. Early evaluation is the best way to ensure your heart health and peace of mind.
