Experiencing an elevated pulse rate can occasionally occur due to various factors like anxiety, dehydration, physical activity, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms may include palpitations, dizziness, or fatigue. It’s essential to evaluate your lifestyle, manage stress, stay hydrated, and avoid excessive caffeine. Incorporating regular, moderate exercise may also help. However, if you find this rapid heartbeat persists or is accompanied by severe symptoms like chest pain or fainting, please consult cardiologist promptly. He can provide tailored support and determine if further investigation is necessary.
