Hello Doctor,

I am 36 and having resting heart rate of 60-65 bpm till last week, but now i am getting resting heart rate as 80-85 bpm.
From last one week i have started running everyday about 16 min, 4 min each lap (starting with 5 kmph to 8 kmph till 16th minute). I have heard that if we starts running everyday our heart rate goes down and down, but reverse is happening for me, so scaring.

And also i am a light smoker, smokes 3-4 cigarettes/day (till 3 months back i use to smoke 10 cigarettes/day)
Please help doctor to figure out the issue

Thank you,
Prasad
