How long have you been exercising? It takes a while to get into shape enough to change your resting hr. And you would have to be doing cardio.
100 bpm for resting hr isn't really that high.

It takes some time for your overall fitness to improve, but if you have been exercising regularly (at least twenty minutes, twice a week of exercise where you HR increases to at least 70% of maximum HR) for more than a few months without any improvement, I would see your doctor again. A fast heart rate may be caused by heart dysfunction, or by endocrine or thyroid problems, as well as by being out of shape. Keep in mind that 100 bpm is only on the high end of normal for an adolescent, not truly abnormal. If your resting HR is higher than a hundred, then that is abnormal.

I would get a 2nd and 3rd opinion, have some blood work done. If your not doing drugs, or extremely overweight, then you could be having panic attacks, high blood pressure, it could be any number of things. Exercising builds up your immune system, so it cant hurt, but with that kind of heart rate I wouldn't over do it with the exercise until you know whats wrong. I don't want to scare you but maybe one of your parents had a drug problem. I have a heart murmur, which my doctor believes it is genetic, or could have been caused from the drugs he was doing when I was conceived.

Your resting HR is a tad high, normal is between 60-100. Sounds like you're just stressed out in school. Not sure why you're taking 10 classes, that's like 30 credits, and 12-15 credits is full time. Just find something that relaxes you and DO IT. Decompress in any way you have to.

I would get a second opinion maybe even see a cardiologist. If it is truly because you are out of shape it may take time for you to get into shape enough to reduce your heart rate. I would make sure that is what's causing the problem though.

Im 17 also and have the same exact problem.. All i can say is eat better and excersize.. It takes a while to eat better and excersize for your resting heart rate to go down.. you won't notice for a good while.. id say about 4 months starting.. I've been eating better and exercising and it went down about 15(8 months)....

Wow....1st of check your weight. If not you've a condition doctors like to call tachycardia. It's only dangerous if your heart is overcapacitating itself. High heart beats are symptoms that your heart is overcapacitating itself. Since your doctors did mention something about your weight, I think you should try to lose some pounds. Take care of your health.

you need to be CONSISTENT over a long period of time with your excersize to get the benefits. You can't just excersize for a week and see dramatic changes. Just stick with it and your body will do the work. Start trying to make healthier choices of food as well.
