What Causes Increase In Pulse Rate?
Hi my pulse rate is constantly 113 or around that at resting. Also I took my blood pressure earlier when relaxed and it was 105/56. I feel tired but sleep okay through the night and usually get 7-8 hours sleep every day. I also get dizzy spells and feel as though I m about to faint but never do. I m constantly hot all the time and when nervous I sweat quite a bit especially on my face which I m very conscious of. I m a 23 year old female. I don t take any medication apart from the contraceptive pill. Please help :( thank you!

Hi
low blood pressure is always associated with high heart rate, the function of heart is to maintain the cardiac output ,so that all the organs can get a proper blood supply,when your blood pressure is low the heart will automatically start beating at a faster rate so to maintain the cardiac output.
as you have dizzzy spells also
i would suggest you to go for a 2d echo ,to find out the ejection fraction of the heart as cardiac output depends upon the ejection fraction of heart
as you are 23 i would suggest youi to repeat a hemoglobin as anaemia in females is common due to menstruation and causes the same symptoms
thank you
