What Causes Increased Heart Rate?
My resting heart beat is 110 BPM... im not over weight, I am 115 at 18 years old... my heart rate seems to be increasing almost all day. Its normal one min. then the next its skyrocketed. Doctors can never get a good blood pressure count from me because of this. What could be the cause of this?
