Avatar n tn Check out Sally Edwards Heart Zones Training, it has a lot of information. They say that by spending more time in 70-80%, can achieve good results. Sounds like you may be going too high. Perhaps check you BP once in awhile, to see if you are indeed exercising correctly. Also, check resting pulse rate, as high HR may indicate overtraining. Hope this helps and I'm sure someone else on this forum can give you some good or better information.
Avatar m tn Your heart rate should recover quicker than it sounds like it is. May want to look into Heart Zones training. Sally Edwards has a good book on this. Basically, she divides your heart training rate into 5 zones and most aerobic benefits are found in zone 3, 70-80% of your target heart rate. 80-90% should be used if you are in good shape. This does seem to be helping me with my exercise and I have seen some improvement in heart rate and blood pressures using this system.
Avatar n tn I have also purchased a heart rate monitor and use this to monitor my heart rate. A good way to figure your target heart rate (THR) is 220- your age. This would equal 190. This is your maximum THR and should only be reached on occasion and should not be used for training purposes (in other words sustaining your heart rate at this rate for a prolonged period of time). You may look into purchasing Sally Edwards' book Heart Zones- Heart Rate Monitor Guidebook. They have it on Amazon.
Avatar m tn Could she be overtraining a bit? Sounds like she is very active. Does she take some recovery time? I have mentioned this on this site before, but may look into Heart Zone training. Sally Edward's has a good book, Heart Zone Training. It gives specific heart training zones to improve cardiovascular fitness. I take a medication to lower my heart rate. However, it would be preferred to lower heart rate through exercise, as side effects of mediation I do not care for.
Avatar n tn Sounds like you may be overtraining. Maybe you started too much vigorous exercise too soon. Maybe try a lower intensity cardio program like walking or light bike riding. Check out Sally Edward's book Heart Zone Training. Basically, she breaks up your heart rate into 5 zones. Zone 3 is 70-80% of your target heart rate and results in increased aerobic and cardiovascular fitness. Sounds like you are training in high Zone 4 or even Zone 5.
Avatar n tn Exercise. Start low intensity walking program. Your heart rate sounds high and the exact same thing happened to me. I was turned down ffrom giving blood for slightly elevated temp and heart rate was high. If you are overweight, lose some weight. As long as your heart is okay structurally, may want a Dr. to take a look at this, you should be able to exercise. The walking will strengthen your heart and make it more efficient and thus slow it down.
Avatar m tn HR may be elevated due to injury and being out of shape. You said you had gained a few pounds recently. Perhaps a good goal would be to get back into shape. A good resting heart rate, I would say, would be below 80 bpm. Probably better to be below 75. If you are fit, even lower (not below say 50, unless you are an elite athlete). The best way to lower heart rate is exercise, cardiovascular. You may think about starting a walking program (30-45 minutes most days of the week).
Avatar n tn If it is still high, I would say take a day off or less strenuous workout, walking. Try Heart Zones Training.
952618 tn?1246287513 I got a Star Edwards Heart Valve in 1977. Now I have to undergo a magnetic resonance tomography of my right ear. Is this possible with this aortic Star Edwards Valve?
Avatar n tn s book on Heart Zone Training. She says fitness improves from 70-80% of target heart rate (calculated by greendave). However, should slowly improve to this. Working out too hard can cause increase in resting heart rate. I am on 25 mg Atenolol because resting heart rate was too high. I wish I had known about this stuff two years ago, as I would have taken training more seriously. I am able to get my heartrate into proper zone during exercise and this has improved my blood pressure.
Avatar f tn t have to work hard at all to maintain a heart rate of about 136 or so and I may start to puff a little at 142 or so. If I am to follow the charts for exercise zones, and to not exceed my maximum heart rate, I am working in the anaerobic (hardcore training) range. I want to work in the weight control to the aerobic/cardio training range but I am barely working to keep my heart rate in the appropriate range. I sweat quite a bit but I don't puff much.
6013893 tn?1378341898 s going to affect me very badly with my physical work job all my training is outdoors in the Sun or around infectious areas such as food service or retail sales
Avatar m tn Keep a log or if you buy a better one that feeds into your computer keep the records then if you feel something is wrong you will have recorded data that you can review with your Dr when seeking resolution There are also several good books out thereon utilizing a HRM Sally Edwards is just one of the authors.
1358167 tn?1279374463 To elaborate on what Clysta Said. Trisomy 21 which is Down Syndrome isn't normally fatal and DS children can lead very full lives. Trisomy 18 which is Edwards Syndrom on the other hand is fatal. Most babies don't make it to birth, those who do only live a few hours and RARELY a baby with edwards syndrome can live up to a year.
Avatar m tn I take Atenolol for fast heart rate. It is a beta-blocker. Recently, I have been having drops in blood pressure, as I have been exercising to increase cardiovascular fitness. This only occurs at night, as I take medication at 6 pm. I would think you may have drops in blood pressure you don't want with BB. It will slow HR down, but may drop blood pressure. Maybe try exercise to lower resting heart rate. Walking would be good start. Sally Edward's book on Heart Zone Training.
1310633 tn?1430224091 (Reuters) - School teachers in Texas are flocking to free firearms classes and hundreds more in Ohio have signed up for training in the wake of the Connecticut elementary school massacre, some vowing to protect their students with guns even at the risk of losing their jobs. In Ohio, more than 900 teachers, administrators and school employees signed up for the Buckeye Firearms Association's newly created, three-day gun training program, the association said.
1310633 tn?1430224091 (Reuters) - Ex-staffers recounted tawdry details of former U.S. Senator John Edwards' affair during his failed 2008 presidential bid on Wednesday, but said little to tie him to allegations that he used illegal campaign contributions to hide his pregnant mistress. The focus halfway through the second week of Edwards' federal campaign finance trial was squarely on his dalliance with a videographer and the effect revelations about that relationship had on his cancer-stricken wife.
Avatar n tn 110 does sound high. Should be at least lower than 100, preferably 75-85, or lower. Well conditioned athletes have low resting heart rates, maybe 50-60. I would at least get resting heart rate into 80's if I were you. Sounds like you are overtraining a bit. I would check out Sally Edward's book on Heart Zone Training, as overtraining can drive up your resting heart rate. Go on more long walks or ease up on the 5-10 k runs.

Avatar m tn I have been working out a lot recently, using Heart Zones training. Today, I worked out at lunch for 20 minutes, got my heart in target heart range of 127-135 with a high of 148 for a minute. I got back to work and felt kind of light headed and rush of adrenalin, sweated a little bit. Just feeling kind of light headed this afternoon and called cardiologist, but have not received phone cak back (this was about one hour ago). I would like to come off of this atenolol.
Avatar f tn How about trying exercise? Do you have anything else going on with your heart? It does sound like your doctor thinks it is okay. You can start out slow, a walking program and build up to 30-40 minutes most days of the week, or longer. Talk to your doctor about a good cardiovascular exercise program. Medications I think would be a last resort. I take a BB just for the condition you describe and it can get frustrating.
1801781 tn?1461629469 LB... I have a BIG A** smile on my face right now! Yoga has been a HUGE part of my recovery. I am thrilled you are giving it a shot as I've seen it transform so many lives.

804270 tn?1254559597 The best place to be for burning calories and fat is between 30% and 70% of your heart rate threshold (the maximum heart rate you can sustain). Get your heart rate there, and keep it there, for an extended duration of time (at least 30-40 minutes), at least 3 days a week. Eat more. if you eat maybe 200 calories a day less than you burn in a day without exercise, and then exercise enough to burn another 300 calories a day, you'll lose a pound a week.
Avatar n tn The feelings of disorientation encountered as a result of crossing time zones are known as jet lag. Symptoms include fatigue and general tiredness, inability to sleep at night, loss of concentration, loss of drive, headaches and general malaise. Jet-lag occurs when biological rhythms are disrupted as a result of rapid transitions across multiple time-zones. Allowing for individual differences, the severity of jet lag is affected by a variety of factors.
