Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Dizziness And Fluctuations In Pulse Rate?
Hi, I was relaxing in a warm bath stood up and got light headed, I got out and checked my blood pressure and pluse on the machine I have and my pulse was 102. I didn t know if I should worry or not. Last night I was relaxing on my couch and it was 108, I am a 24 year old female. Thanks.
fluctuation in the pulse rate even in a normal person is usual and normal finding. in normal person pulse rate varies e.g fast after doing an exercise , exersion , drinking coffee or tea , smoking etc
possible if fast after warm bath also. it may be associated with some underlying illness also fever, anaemia , flu, etc
at your age i dont think you should worry much for this if it is occasional . but if it is persistant then you need to do at least one blood test like CBC or atleast blood Haemoglobin .
