210 - .65 * age is recommended MaxHr by ACSM.
For you, 210 - 18 = 192.
192 - 19 = 173, so that is about 90% for you.
If an athlete, and resting HR is, say 60, then heart rate reserve is 192 - 60 = 132. 13 points per 10%.
Then 90% is 192 - 13 = 179; 192 - 26 = 166 = 80%.
85% of max HR for an athlete is a very strong training point. At 28, I could take mine to 205.

174 by itself doesn't mean anything (after running, at rest, ???). It is quite high though. For your age, 190bpm is right around the absolute max. Anything over 170 would be pretty fast and would be seen under only heavy exercise. Also, if it doesn't go down after resting, that too is bad.
You should see a doctor for a check up as soon as possible (a check up never hurts). If there are any other adverse signs (chest pressure, chest pain, pain in the left or both arms, dizzyness, nausea, cold sweats, ect), don't wait and see a Dr immediately ( the ER room at the hospital). Better safe than sorry.

Sounds like you could possibly have high blood pressure. If that is a resting heart beat it is really tachy (fast) for what you should be which is 60-100.
It could also be an electrical abnormality with your heart. Either way you need to get checked at the doc.
Not being accusatory....but if any drugs are involved that could cause rapid heartbeat also.
Check it when you have rested atleast 5- 10 minutes and then check again after exercising and see what it is. And make sure you are counting right.

My bpm hits about 170 when I am running (it's about 70 when resting). Heart rate varies with each person and can depend on cardiac conditioning, size (small people and overweight people often have higher rates), and metabolism, among others. 174 is only an issue if it occurs when you are not vigorously exercising.

When does it do this - you don't give enough information. When you are exercising? at rest? 174 during exercise is normal. 174 while sleeping is not.

Cholesterol comes from animal fat like meat, cheese, butter, cream & eggs. Too much cholesterol causes high blood pressure. Eat more vegetables instead. Losing weight lowers blood pressure.

It is a fact that when a human's heart rate rises above 150 due to adrenelin (as in p[olice shooting investigations) the conscious mind takes a backseat to instinct and training. It's like talking to your dog.
Are you sure you are counting accurately? You should be dead.

sounds like a condition called tachycardia. it can be controlled with meds. this is dangerously high for your age. seek medical help at once.

Please get checked for Type II Diabetes. One of my bosses found out six months ago he had it and the high blood pressure (he had your level) was his "warning sign".
He modified his diet radically, lost about 30 pounds and now has it under control without using insulin.

You are going to have a heart attack.
