In wellness clas our teacher took our pulse, blood presure, and BMI, my blood pressure and BMI were good, but my pulse was 120. The teacher kinda freaked out because I had just been sitting for like an hour, so I wasn't running or anything. Then after class she asked me if I'd been experimenting with drugs, and I truthfully told her I hadn't. Then she asked me if I would take it agian, and it was 122. She wants me to ask my doctor about it, and I am today since I have to get a shot anyway. Was it just a one day thing? What could it be? I'm a 14 year old girl.
Well I heard them say on buffy once(I know - sad) but some dude had a pulse of 150 they told him it was a high risk of heart attack. so don't let urs stay that way
there's obv. a problem because most people have 70 - 90ish above 100 is called somin like tachycardia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia
Tachycardia
typically refers to the cardiac rhythm which produces a ventricular rate greater than 100 beats per minute; sometimes refers to the cardiac rhythm which produces an atrial rate greater than 100 beats per minute while the ventricular rate remains unaffected.[1]
you've got more than 100 bpm, rite? then you should get toa doctor..
I know this random stuff from research a lot due to a few heart things I've got going on lol. you could have just had a palpitation at the time, but seriously - a trip to the docs is for the best!! they can do tests to determine what's going on. like ECG - electrocardiogram (they put stickers on your chest and stomach and round there and put wires on the stickers - no pain tho at all trust me lol - to check your heart rate and all that)
which might have to be bookd for you. or they'll just use a stethoscope lol. I dunno. they do some wacky tests but it all goes to determining if you're ok, or if you're not how they will effectively solve the problem..
at the end of the day I'm sure you'll be fine, they just need to double check and if there is anything, they will solve it.
you'll be fine, good luck and hope u'll be ok!
EDIT: I've just read that bk and I've confused even myself lol. Basically to cut short - just go to the docs and explain everything that has happened about your pulse. They'll determine whether it was a one off thing (can happen), or palpitations (sometimes people get "palpitations" which is something where the heart beats fast randomly in a period of time. it's a sort of condition thing but is normally harmless and ok, but you need to find out)..
if I'm still confusing you which I'm confusing myself.. comment/msg me lol hope I helped tho =/
ok.its fine nothin 2 worry about.if a teacher or doctor is taking my blood pressure,BMI,and pulse I would be nervous.wene your nervouse it makes your pulse go up.so if they are going to check your pulse I would wait till your asleep so you wouldnt be nervous then get your mom or a nurse or someone 2 check your pulse.
hope I helped.
