if pulse rate is high what to do - #19775
I am really worried about my heart health. Last week, I realized my pulse rate is high—like way higher than normal. One day, I was just sitting and watching TV when I noticed my heart racing, and it scared me a bit. I tried taking a few deep breaths, but it didn’t help much. I've read stuff online about what to do if pulse rate is high, but honestly, it’s overwhelming. Should I be doing something specific at home? My mom told me to drink water, but I don't know if that’s enough. And what if pulse rate is high during exercise? I love running, but now I'm scared I might be pushing it too hard. Is this a sign of something serious? I've been feeling a bit anxious lately, and I wonder if that could be affecting me? Like when I'm at work and under stress, my pulse seems to go up. Should I see a doctor? Or could this be just temporary from stress or caffeine or something silly? What do doctors usually say to do if pulse rate is high? It's all so confusing!
