What Causes An Elevated Pulse Rate?
my pulse rate is running at the rate of 110 a minute. This has occurred about 4 or 5 times in the last couple of months. Usually notice it as I am going to sleep or waking from a nap. Not always like this though. Have an appointment next week.
Any suggestions.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Your symptoms can be related to :
1) Hypertension.
2) Atherosclerosis which is a condition due to poor blood supply to the heart muscle.
3) Anxiety.
I suggest you to do an EKG, a blood test and to see a cardiologist for further treatment.
Hope this clarifies your concern. Thank you for the query.
Take care

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
