Experiencing Sudden Gain In Heart Rate Due To Running ,what Could Be The Problem ?
I'm a road runner and have been training for an ultra marathon. I run aerobically trying not to exceed 140 beats per minute. Recently I've found my heart rate (I use a heart rate monitor) suddenly shoots up to rediculours levels lke 2006 beats per minte, but if I feel my caritide artery it doesn't feel like I'm at that level. I stop or walk and the rate comes down to where it oughgt to be. Is this likely to be tachycardia or could my heart reate monitor be faulty?

hi
i read your query
what you are probably developing is an arrhythmia
i would suggest you to get an ecg
and if that is normal, move on to a holter monitor and echocardiography
your cardiologist will have to diagnose the three
and start you tablets accordingly
alternatively
you can upload the reports
and i can help you further from there
hope that helps
best of luck
