Does your heart rate have anything to do with blood pressure? Also what qualifies as high?

Question

*I put this here because no one would answer me in the health section.*
Is it normal for a 24 year old to have 90 beats a minute. (resting heart rate that is) And 170 beats a minute after exercising. My instructor keeps telling me to slow it down. She doesn't like how high my heart rate gets. So during arobics I can't raise my arms over my head too much, or jump around too much. Could I really have a problem. I don't want to go to a doctor if there's nothing to be alarmed about.

Answer 1

AVERAGE BLOOD PRESSURE IS 127/77 AND YOUR PULSE SHOULD RUN AROUND 75-85 NORMALLY AND ABOUT 130 TO 140 WHEN EXERCISING

Answer 2

normal bp is 120/80...you should not get over 140/90
Resting heart rate should be around 70-80. You are to small to get up to 170 during exercise. You should be around 140 at the highest!

If you are not having chest pains, shortness of breath, or aby other symptoms beside the heart rate...I wouldnt worry to much. IF your BP is getting higher than above, go see your doc!

Answer 3

No, that is not normal. Your resting heart rate should be 60 to 80 beats per minute if you are young and healthy. Ironically, if the cause of your high heart rate is just simply that you are out of shape, you need to do aerobic exercise to lower it.

There are many other causes for a high heart rate though. See your doctor for tests. Be sure to get free T3 and free T4 thyroid tests, and adrenal tests.

Answer 4

Anything over 130/90-it's the bottom # that counts

Answer 5

If you exercise instructor is worried about it enough to have to tone you down, then go to a qualified doctor and get it checked out...besides, the doctor has all the answers to your questions we don't....he gets...PAID TO KNOW....don't leave it too long and best of luck and health to you........
