Is A Rapid Heart Rate While Exercising A Concern?

Hi, I am wondering about my heart rate. My resting heart rate is 107 (i am 22 and weigh 200 lb. ). Today during cardio exercise my heart rate went up to 165. What I am wondering is as I continue to do cardio exercise will it be possible for me to see my heart improving by watching my heart rate?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Increasing heart rate during exercise is a normal phenomenon. By your question, I can judge that you are an athlete so your basal heart rate is high which is quite normal for your age. So don't worry. You are totally fine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
