What Causes A High Resting Heart Rate And Pulse With Tightness?

I am a nineteen year old female and my resting heart rate is always in the high 90s to 100s. On one incident my mother checked my pulse while I was asleep and my BPM was 119. Sometimes when I exercise or when I bend over my chest feels very tight. Is this normal? Should I be checked my the doctor?

Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms (chest pain and tightness when exercising or bending) are not typical of any cardiac disorder.

They can be explained by gastro-esophageal reflux.

Regarding your heart rate values, they seem to be within the normal ranges.

Anyway, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests to exclude other secondary causes that may lead to a higher heart rate:

- complete blood count for anemia
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- a chest X ray study.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
