My resting heart rate is in range of 80-90 bpm. I know that is way too high for a young person like me and want to know how to bring it down and what could be causing it. I don’t have an anxiety disorder or high blood pressure.
Re: High heart rate
That’s a good question. @NavAhmed, can you please shed some light on this?

Are you overweight or do you eat a lot of food high in fat?

No if anything I'm at the right wieght for someone my height (5 10 and 165 lbs). But yea I don't always eat healthy. There aren't much healthy options at college that aren't overpriced lol.
Re: High heart rate
A resting heart rate of 80-90bpm is not abnormal at all. The usual range of normal heart rate is 60-90 beats per minute (in some texts 60-100bpm). It is correct a low resting heart rate is usually a good indicator of aerobic fitness, but it does not mean people with heart rates in 80s or 90s are in any unfit or diseased.
Take my example, I am an open water swimmer, and I run alot, but my resting heart rate never drops below 60, a few of my friends who are quite fit like me have their pulse rates in low to high 50s. It does not mean I am unwell or unfit, as in one-to-one competitions in different sports, i could compete with them with ease. Your resting heart rate depends upon many factors, including core body temperature, BMI,thyroid hormone levels, aerobic fitness, basal metabolic rate and levels of sympathetic stimulation etc
Also always look at the bigger picture, if you are otherwise fit and healthy, run a reasonable distance and do certain recreational and sporting tasks, and feel well in yourself with normal medical exam and blood tests, than you should not obsess over your one figure or parameter.
Re: High heart rate
@NavAhmed..Thank you. I appreciate it. If you don't mind I have a question. Is having a short PR interval something to be worried about?
Re: High heart rate

Re: High heart rate
If you feeling that you have excessive heart rate then you should immediately consult your doctors or physicians to get the real cause behind it and if it is serious then ask for it how to control it.
