I Am Not Exercising. Is My Heart Rate To High ?

I weigh about 125 pounds and Im a 25 yr old female. Im laying in bed right now and could feel my heart beating extremely fast. I counted how many a min and it was 100 per min. Is that too high? Does lexapro have anything to do with this? I just started it about 2 weeks ago. Im sorta freaking out so please help!

60-100 is normal Edit: A side effect of Lexapro is tachycardia (fast heart rate). If you counted and it is 100 you are still within normal limits. It is a little fast but in my opinion nothing to worry about.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
Your pulse rate is a bit high but nothing to worry.
Some anxiety,stress may give little rise.
Laxapro will work on high pulse rate.so it will be helpful.
ok and bye.
