Elliptical Crosstrainer
Cause of sudden increase in Heartbeat when working out?
I have been working to shed some weight and have been working out on the Elliptical Crosstrainer for 30 to 45 minutes daily maintaining my heart beat at 170 bpm. Yesterday for the first time 20 mins into the work out my heartbeat jumped upto 230bpm. I did stop immediately and took in deep breaths to ease it, however I felt no pain or breathlessness,
I do have a family history of high blood pressure and cholestrol and am on medication (covance) for maintaing my blood preassure hence the worry.
I am 37 year old male weighing 94 kgs and 180cms, Medium built.Due to bodybuilding in my earlier days I would consider my ideal weight would be about 85 kgs.
It's SVT, or Supraventricular Tachycardia. Basically, a really high heart rate. Most people have it more than once, it usually starts when they're younger, but sometimes people have it randomly, like yourself. It seriousness depends on some things:
Whats causing it...in your case it may have been the work out, but still it's a little odd for it to jump like that
How long it takes to slow it down...if it slows immediately, or at least begins to, I wouldn't worry too much. If it doesn't, or it happens more often, or it happens when your not working out, go get it checked
Your general health...you seem to be healthy, so it's probably not going to be too tough.
The major issue with this is that if your heart beats too fast it can't fill up enough, and by the next beat its not pumping enough blood. You get dizzy, you faint, and, if it lasts too long, yes, you could die.
However, fixing the problem is easy.
I'd talk to my doctor if I were you. Request a Holter monitor and see if they catch anything.
As long as the rate is kept under control it's not an issue.
