Is anyone an avid exerciser or runner? I walked while my son was doing gymnastics tonight and jogged too but this happens everytime I workout harder than just a walk. An hour after I exercise my heart rate is still in the nineties. is this normal? Or should I be back to normal after an hour? I would love to talk to an exercise professional about this. I am out of shape I know that will take mine longerto recover but I just feel like it should be back to normal after An hour. makes me want to exercise haha

Hello Hazelnut86,

What is your normal heart rate? I agree that it shouldn't take you 1 hour to recover, I'm just wondering if you know what your resting heart rate is? Anything between 60-100 it's considered normal! I used to run a lot, not anymore :-( another thing that anxiety took away from me, for the moment!

Good luck,

Josh

I'm an avid exerciser, and it depends on your normal resting heart rate, 90 is pretty high. I also don't know your age? My heart rate is usually about 65, but I exercise a lot. What was it before you started walking/jogging?

I read last night it can several hours to go back to normal. It was in 60s by 10:00 and normal thus morning. Guess im just not in shape.

My normal hr varies from 65-85

Hazle, after you get in shape it will only take minutes to come
down but everyone is different. Peace

Gym rat here!

With regards to your question, that's perfectly within normal ranges.

As Larry pointed out, the more fit you become, your recovery quickens and your HR will reduce swifter. But if you engage in vigorous exercise only on rare occasions, (and mild to moderate only on occasion as well), then yep, you betcha. It's going to take a while for your HR to come back down.

That's not unusual! :)

Deep breath, toots!

Hi hazelnut86, I used to walk over two miles a day, then swim for 15 minutes, and then do an exhausting 15 minute workout on my heavy bag. However, after keeping this regime up for several years I developed a problem with my heart. Therefore, I recommend that you watch the video below as it may give you some insights as to what can happen if you over-exercise. (Note: I still swim and walk but I did get rid of my punching bag. I am now 72 years old and a guy my age doesn't need to be engaging in that kind of physically exhausting exercise.)

I'd just like to caution that "over exercising" may be interpreted as a loaded gun, just as "under exercise" can be.

Best to let the docs and individuals make assessments that are unique to each of them.

Moderation tends to yield....

What about when im sick and stressed? Its 104 at work right now have a bad cold. Only decongestant is nasal. Anyone else get over 100 when sick? Should have stayed home. No sick days.

Hi HN.:)

I definitely get a higher heart rate when sick!! Our bodies are working overtime to just run the regular systems...plus, the required work of trying to fight off the illness!

I think that those nasal sprays can also increase heart rate if I'm not mistaken...but not sure? You could call your pharmacy for clarification of that...and maybe skip that for now and see if you note a improvement. (perhaps use a saline only solution instead of a decongestant)

I hope that you can get some rest that you need and feel better soon!!

thanks ~! yeah i quit worrying about it. i can't breathe through my nose at all and i'm sure that doesn't help. yes i think any decongestant can do that. i haven't taken since last night - it's 12 hours. ugh

i downloaded a hr app on my phone. not good. lol i think i may ask this every time i get sick. lol you guys are the best!
Posted 7/29/2014 5:27 PM (GMT 0)
Do you mean that it tracks your heart rate and gives you regualr readings??

Oh, that would not be good for me, Lol!! I would get obsessed.

I have to be careful not to over do it on checking my BP.

I will get all wrapped up in getting the 'perfect reading' if I am not careful to only check it occasionally.

If I had an app...oh Lord help me!!;p I might consider taking that app off your phone...IMO...

Hugs,

S.C.

haha not you have to put your finger on the phone lens. yeah i don't use it much. i know better. lol i'm the same way.

If you have a stuffy nose, can you use nasal spray? Or perhaps Vicks?

In the past (up until around 2 years ago), it would be rare to get my resting heart rate below 100. On a 'good day' I'd be in the 90's.

And I spent decades like that....

Food for thought? :)

thanks Merrida. yeah might have been like that before too and I'm also PMSing which makes a big difference my heart rate is always higher during that week. I had a low grade fever last night and I didn't know it. so what changed in the past two years Merrida?
Posted 7/30/2014 8:02 PM (GMT 0)
I have been using nasal spray I just forgot it at work yesterday and I've been using one spray instead of two or three like it says

I've just recently discovered that Ginger candy works better for treating a stuffy nose than any nasal spray.

oh great idea I never thought about that I have some I tried to use Altoids yesterday which worked for a couple minutes

Another thing I do when I have a stuffy nose?

Horseradish or Wasabi!

Works great! Just takes a dab! :)
