I am a thirteen year old male, and about 6 months ago I started getting chest pains, palpitations and a fast heart rate… some of these were also with dizziness. After about a month of symptoms, I went to the doctor. He said he believes it’s not a heart issue or anything dangerous, but to make sure he would get tests done. I had a blood test, EKG, ultrasound of my heart, halter 24 hour monitor, and stress test. He also of course has listened to my heart and done blood pressure tests. All tests were completely normal. I have been to the ER from being worried over this. I have left school, and many other things, because of these feelings. I tell myself nothing is wrong, but at the same time I still worry. My main fear is sudden collapsing of athletes especially, because of heart problems. I have been an athlete for many years but ever since the first symptoms, I haven’t played sports competitively or in a fast paced way. I know I am out of my regular fitness level due to this. Could being out of shape and being stressed over this cause palpitations and a fast heart rate? I admit my habits aren’t great as far as sleep, water amounts I drink, food I eat, and stress levels go, but could this cause anything? I am extremely worried, and any answers would help me.
Thanks, Tj

Blood pressure and heart rate? Please answer?

Me and my doctor have been monitoring my blood pressure more closely lately. I am a healthy 20 year old woman, exercise regularly, not overweight, avoid salt, never drink caffeine or alcohol, and etc…..I think you get the point.

Anyways I’ve been recording my blood pressure consistently for about 2 weeks. I’ve been going to the Safeway pharmacy (they have a well maintained BP machine), I have also been using the BP machines that are used on patients in hospitals ( I have clinical/practicum at the hospital). Both of them have been giving me numbers in the same ranges so I know that it’s not just the pharmacy one that is giving me high numbers.

First of all last time I went to see my doctor my readings were in the high 140s/90s.

Feb 8th- Hospital- 140/102- Heart rate: 127
Feb 8th- Pharmacy- 151/101- Heart rate: 121
Feb 9th- Hospital- 137/101- Heart rate: 112
Feb 9th- Hospital- 146/104- Heart rate: 119
Feb 11- Pharmacy- 152/100- Heart rate: 131
Feb 14th- Pharmacy- 155/106- Heart rate: 126
Feb 16th- Hospital- 143/104- Heart rate 137
Feb 16th- Hospital- 133/105- Heart rate: 134
Feb 18th- Pharmacy- 154/111- Heart rate:110
Feb 19th- Pharmacy- 145/90- Heart rate: 124
Feb 20th- Pharmacy- 139/94- Heart rate: 127
Feb 14th- Blood donation building- 162/98- 118 (did not qualify to donate)

My friend has also been watching her blood pressure as well when she goes to the pharmacy and her readings are around the same range as the readings she got at her doctor’s. She has a bigger arm circumference than me, and when I take her blood pressure manually it is right around the numbers that the pharmacy give her ( supporting more the fact that the pharmacy’s machine is calibrated and well maintained). Her readings are as follows:

Manually- 108/70
Feb 11th- Pharmacy- 111/67- Heart rate: 84
Feb 18th- Pharmacy- 106/70- Heart rate: 70
Feb 20th- Pharmacy- 117/67- Heart rate: 83
Feb 21st- Pharmacy- 108/64- Heart rate 69

Another thing I should tell you is that before each of my recordings I have sat down for at least 5 minutes relaxing. Also if it was taken at the pharmacy I did not shop or anything prior to.

My doctor has also tested many things, such as thyroid, kidneys and more and all came back normal. Do you think this could just be genetics, since 3 of my grandparents and 1 uncle and 1 auntie have hypertension (but not my parents).

Me and my doctor already know that it’s not my lifestyle affecting my blood pressure since I am maintaining a healthier life style than most people and always watch carefully what I do and eat.

Please answer and thanks for you time. I was also wondering why is my diastolic always elevated? I still haven even come across a patient at the hospital (at practicum) that has a diastolic elevated like mine, most of them if they do have a higher BP reading it will only have a high systolic.

So to make this easy my questions are:

Why do you think my blood pressure is this high at such a young age?
Could my heart rate be caused by the high blood pressure or vise versa?
How likely do you think I will be going on medications?
Why would my diastolic always be so elevated?
Could this simply be due to genetics from previous family members with hypertension?

Thank you! :)

Our P.E. class used the new school gym for the first time the other day. The majority of the machines have built in heart rate monitors. I was going on the elliptical, and the girls next to me were getting heart rate readings in the 130 – 150s, however even when I was sprinting as moderate resistance, I was getting readings of 89. I asked one of my P.E. teachers, she said the monitor must be broken or inaccurate. When a different elliptical came free I tried on that – it read the same. I was getting seriously annoyed now, I was worried that all of the times I’ve been exercising during the summer I hadn’t been pushing myself far enough.

I then used the treadmill. Running at 6.5mph, I was still getting readings in the 80s and 90s are 10 minutes. I asked another of my teachers, who at first couldn’t believe it, however after watching me just concluded that I had a very low resting heart rate.

She started talking about how I must have a strong heart etc.

I’m a little confused. This can’t have much to do with fitness, as although I am fit, a girl in my class who is uber fit was getting ‘regular’ readings. Is it dangerous to have too low a resting heart rate? What benefit is this going to be of to me in the future, or will it be of any?

Getting a 6 pack and losing belly fat?

So for about a good year and a half I have been hard core gym training. I weighed about 160 when I started. I am a 19 year old female who is really trying to lose my last few pounds. I currently weigh give or take 130. I really want at least a 4 pack, but I am having troubles. I am about 5′6 1/2 and I need to loose about another inch or two just in my belly and maybe 2 inches in my back. I watch what I eat, I have been keeping my calories to about 1400. Some days are less, depending on what I eat. When i attend the gym about 6-7 days a week I always do either arms or legs. On hard days i do 5 sets of 12-14 and on others sometimes just 3 sets. I alwaysss work my abs, because it is the key point I want to burn. Leg pull ups, angle leg pull ups with 6 lb ball, ball crunches, 10lb ab twist, a ton more. With everything i usually do 3 sets of eat ab exercise. Some just sets of 12, some sets of 40-50. I seriously spend usually a good atleast 30 minutes on my abs. And i usually do diff work outs every other day. Like I will do leg pull ups one day but not the next (something else but different way). Then after I usually do legs or arms and abs I will do cardio. I alwaysss do atleast 45 minutes but lately I have been doing 60. I usually change up my machine every 3 months because I feel my body gets useto it. Lately I have been doing 60 minutes on a treadmill. Every 10 mins I change it up.. first 10 i have incline at 2 and speed at 4.4mph. the next 10 minutes I will raise incline to 7 and slow speed to 4.0mph. Now I sweat through this badass and I feel like its a really good work out. Sometimes I will do only a half our on treadmill and hit up an elliptical and raise the resistance. I have specifically always tried to occasionally change things up and some days I will even do the stair master for 30 and an arch trainer for 30. And I always like to have some heart rate increase during the course of it. I really do watch what I eat, I drink water with diet snapple (5 calorie packets) because I have trouble dirnking just water unless I am at the gym sweating. I dirnk skim milk and try to have atleast 5 fruits/veggies a day. I have a protien special K cereal in the morning and I do measure my food sizes. Like cereal – 3/4 cup with 1/2 cup skin milk. I have been trying lately to fill up on water when I feel like I need to eat. Sometimes its just boredom. I watch what I eat, i really do. I go for things that usually almost always have less sodium than calories, because thats what my doctor said. If I have a sandwich (maybe twice a week) i have wheat bread. I have been using wheat/multigrain everything when it comes to carbs. I have a yogurt everyday either Light Yoplait or Fiber/Light Activia. I live in a house where my family just lovesss cookies and other goodies so im pretty useto being able to say no. Sometimes even for dinner I microwave one of those steamable veggie packs and thats all i will even eat. I snack on fiber one bars, pretzles, and just fruit/veggies. Now ..my question is what should I do. I went out to dinner yesterday (fathers birthday) and I weighed myself this morning, my scale said i gained 2 lbs :( .. I also have a Tyler or w/e u call them scale that goes by .5 lbs. I thinking of getting a new one that goes by .2 so maybe it will make me happier. I’ve been told by someone I should be taking in more protein.. But I really feel like I will gain weight. Plus that stuff is pretty expensive. Now I know it is veryyy hard for a woman to get abs showing, but I would really like some tips or even advice. It took me about 15 minutes to type all this so please answer.
