My heart rate is really uneven, is there something wrong?

Question

At school we did a test at school to find out our bp/m. Everyone in my class was between 65-75, but mine was 94. Also, my friend was lying on my and said my heartbeat was really uneven.

Answer 1

Tell your parents and get them to take you for a check up, to put your mind at ease.

Answer 2

Your heart normally beats in a regular rhythm and rate that is just right for the work your body is doing at any moment. The usual resting heart rate for adults is between 50 to 100 beats per minute. Children have naturally higher normal heart rates than adults.

The heart is a pump made up of four chambers : two upper chambers (atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). It is powered by an electrical system that puts out pulses in a regular rhythm. These pulses keep the heart pumping and keep blood flowing to the lungs and body.



When the heart beats too fast, too slow, or with a skipping (irregular) rhythm, a person is said to have an arrhythmia. A change in the heart's rhythm may feel like an extra-strong heartbeat (palpitation) or a fluttering in your chest. Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) often cause this feeling.



A heartbeat that is occasionally irregular usually is not a concern if it does not cause other symptoms, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or shortness of breath. It is not uncommon for children to have extra heartbeats. In healthy children, an extra heartbeat is not a cause for concern.



When heart rate or rhythm changes are minor

Many changes in heart rate or rhythm are minor and do not require medical treatment if you do not have other symptoms or a history of heart disease. Smoking, drinking alcohol or caffeine, or taking other stimulants such as diet pills or cough and cold medicines may cause your heart to beat faster or skip a beat. Your heart rate or rhythm can change when you are under stress or having pain. Your heart may beat faster when you have an illness or a fever. Hard physical exercise usually increases your heart rate, which can sometimes cause changes in your heart rhythm.



Dietary supplements, such as goldenseal, oleander, motherwort, or ephedra (also called ma huang), may cause irregular heartbeats.

Answer 3

Heart rate is easily effected by numerous external factors. You could be nervous, had a caffeinated drink, be out of shape, etc. To rule out external variables, take your HR in the morning just as you're waking up. Don't even get up out of bed if possible. Find your pulse on your wrist or carotid artery (on your neck just next to your adam's apple). Look at a watch. Count the number of pulses for 15 seconds and multiply that number by 4. That should give you a much more accurate HR.
