What Causes An Increase In The Heart Rate During Workout?
I was recently working out with a trainer for the first time. During the workout I felt fine. It was after the stretching that I felt my heart rate up and my arms tired and tingling. When walking to the car I felt a bit nauseous. I am still sore from the workout a couple days later, but are fine otherwise. Is this just from a lack of activity? I am 47, weigh 178 and have no health issues nor have had any. Last physical 2 years ago showed everything fine

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that heart rate is ever changing phenomenon depending on your physical activity, stress and physiological changes. After workout, you might have low blood sugar levels and you felt a rapid heart rate, so it is recommended for you to have 2 digestive biscuits or a cup of juice before workouts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
