What causes a high heart rate during exercise?

Question

Hi doctor,

My heart rate is 90 to 100 beats per minute while doing exercise. Should I reduce my exercise and take more rest? Or do I need to exercise, such as jogging, every day?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, I would like to inform you that your heart rate is completely normal. Also, when you exercise, it is normal for the heart rate to rise. It is only after regular long sessions of exercising that a lower heart rate is seen, like in athletes or marathon runners. The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. So, do not worry and continue exercising as you do for about 30 to 40 minutes per day. You can run, sprint, or jog and do anything you like. Regular exercising will help you maintain good overall health. It reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes mellitus.

I hope this helps.
