What Does Elevated Heart Rate Indicate?

My heart rate is resting 100 and whenever I get up it spikes to 120 or 130 whenever I do too much walking and I am up for too long or during physical activity The highest it has gotten to is 205 and I was just walking to my classes. At first I though it was just my body fighting off a sickness I had but it s been a week and nothing has changed, my inhaler hasn t helped and I don t know what s wrong with me

General & Family Physician 's  Response
hi there,

Inhaler word has got us little confused.
are you an asthmatic?

concerning your increased heart rate,
you need to get yourself checked up by a cardiologist and pulmonologist wherein an ECG can be adviced along with further investigations.

increased heart rate can be related to an asthma attacks or pathology of a heart or a physiological condition wherein heart beats faster than required or some other intrinsic factor.

there is nothing to worry whatever the cause is, it can be managed appropriately.

have a good day.
