Is this your heart rate while running or resting. If this is your resting rate, there could be a number of reasons in a person your age. It could be medications you%26#039;re taking, your heart%26#039;s size, the possibility that you have a type of heart disease that is congenital (from birth), an unusual rhythm that can be detected by electrocardiogram. Who could know by what you write? If this is your rate with running, then that would be in the range considered normal.

It is a good idea to get a referral to a cardiologist (not a general practitioner or internal medicine physician) and have them perform an ECG, an Echocardiogram and/or a stress test and labs to check your electrolytes (they%26#039;ll do a bunch anyway). That%26#039;s the only way you can know what%26#039;s going on. Even though you%26#039;re 20, you can still have heart disease issues. I don%26#039;t know if you%26#039;re a woman or man but some good websites are:

Have you gotten your blood pressure checked and is it normal? You could have high blood pressure and a small amount of medication could help that. I got high blood pressure and a high heart rate from taking birth control pills when I was in high school and I%26#039;ve had it ever since.

I agree with some of the other respondents. If this heart rate is a resting rate for you then you should see a doctor. They will have you wear a 24-48 hr holter monitor that will record your hearts electrical activity to help diagnose your problem. Also, they will probably draw bloodwork to check your thyroid level as a low functioning thyroid will cause elevated heart rates. Additional tests may include an echocardiogram to evaluate the structure of your heart.

As mentioned before, other medications or caffeine intake may elevate your heart rate.

The first step is to see your doctor as this is a problem that needs to be determined then corrected as a normal heart rate at rest should be between 60-100.

Good luck.
