MY Heart Beats At 104/minute, Please Help
Okay, when I went in to my doctor today, he told me my pulse was 104 BPM. I have been sick (cough, fever, chest pain etc.) for a few days, but this worries me. Should I be concerned?? What could this be?? I am in good physical shape w/normal at 55-60 BPM. 16 year old girl at 5 3 and 113 pounds. Help?? 10 points best answer. Also, I have experienced many bouts of fainting in the past.. 6 times last year.

Hi,
Your heart rate can increase when infection is present, nothing to worry about, have it checked again after your feeling better, bet its back to normal. Good Luck
