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.

Sometimes my heart rate goes above 115 bpm, which is making me concerned since I know the normal range is between 60 to 100 bpm. I've been using an oximeter to check my heart rate. My baby recently passed away due to a cardiac problem and was born with a heart defect. Could this be related to my heart rate issues? Should I consider getting any tests done to check for potential issues?

A heart rate of 115bpm or higher is considered elevated. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or physical activity. It is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult a doctor if you have persistent high heart rates. Given your family history of a baby with a heart defect, it may be a good idea to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. Tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test may be recommended to assess your heart health and rule out any underlying conditions. It's important to address any concerns about your heart health, especially given your family history.
