My body fat is somewhere around 18-20%. My resting heart rate is 90. I go to the gym daily for at least an hour. Sometimes when lying in bed my heart beats so hard than my arms will pulsate with my heart beat. Advce please I'm 28 6'1 215 pounds. My body fat is somewhere around 18-20%.

When I do any kind of physical exertion, even walking up a dozen stairs, my heart rate goes up to about 110-140 bpm. I also drink 1-3 cups of coffee a day, so that probably doesn't help lower my heart rate or my pre-hypertension blood pressure.

In warm weather, I will ride 200-250 miles a week. I am not a competitive athlete - I just really like to exercise, and apparently there is a benefit. However, I have been waking up with headaches lately. I had a suspicion, so I bought a pulse oximeter to measure my blood O2 saturation. Sure enough, I am seeing levels of 90-91% at waking, which puts me in a stage of hypoxemia. I had experienced similar headaches several years ago while climbing above 13,000 ft. Now I guess I have to deal with the hypoxemia! I am a 51-tear-old male who does a lot of endurance exercise activity (esp. cycling) and my resting HR is 38-42 and my max is about 180.

I am preparing for my first marathon having done a lot of half marathons. My resting heart rate is under 50 which is a function of a very efficient heart, however there is a downside. Often, when I get up quickly from my desk to walk to the copier or even if I stand up to yell at a basketball game, I become light headed and dizzy. It passes very quickly, but I always worry that I am going to pass out (never have). For active athletes, a low (<55) resting heart rate is a sign of fitness. For those who are sedentary, a low resting heart rate may be a symptom of an underlying problem that is worth have investigated by your physician.

While these numbers seem extremely low for a child this age based on the expected averages, he is a phenominal cyclist and we had measured his V02 (University of MN ergometer estimate - not breath analysis method) to be around 81-85 (Lance Armstrong's V02 was measured at 88), so it is no surprise that his RHR is very low. Just goes to show that RHR is a very individual thing. My 13-year-old son has a "stand-around" heart rate of 50, so I'm guessing that his RHR is a bit lower, probably 40.

I just started vyvanse for my ADD back in October and since then my resting heart rate has been between 90 and 110, even when I'm off my meds for a couple of days (usually the weekend when I don't have so much school work to do). My body doesn't feel weird, but my increased heart rate has me concerned and I'm scared to exercise because I don't want to push my heart too far. any suggestions or comments?
